This is a compilation album of tunes written or released in 2024, and the fifth yearly installment in such a series. These songs were all made for various compilation albums, competitions, commissions, or other occasions. There are many explorations of chiptune and some cool explorations of not chiptune. This is a balance I will likely continue to strike as my interests are always branching in a half dozen directions at once. With that in mind, you can also look forward to some really exciting releases from me this year and beyond. : )
