Another year, another Advent Calendar! Each song on this compilation was written & completed within one day between December 1-24 - all based on given prompts, samplepacks, and formats on Battle of the Bits (battleofthebits.com). Details on each track are listed below!

This is the third year I've participated in every day of the event, and also the first that I got to co-host it! We ended up with 441 total submissions across all 24 days, a new record for the BotB site!

Other than volume leveling, these tracks are completely unmastered, left as they were completed each day.

released December 26, 2023
