about
Each of these songs was written within one day this December for an Advent Calendar chiptune event on Battle of the Bits! There was a different prompt each day as well as a different format (such as what software to use or what old soundchip to write for). They are listed below.
This is my third year doing the event, and my second year participating in every day. It has become something I look forward to greatly. I didn't post last year's compilation here on Bandcamp, but it is on SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/damifortune/sets/botb-advent-calendar-2021
I hope you enjoy all these varied little tunes! Happy holidays!

Hunter Van Brocklin recommends:
-
incredibly intricate digital fusion album with stellar string+piano writing and exciting influences from Armenian and Spanish music. capable of soaring high and deep contemplation. fantastik
go to album -
the most inspiring FM synthesis textures i think i've ever heard - huge sound design goals. a must-have for lovers of more cerebral electronic music and "IDM", and it's pure chiptune to boot
go to album -
if this album had existed when i was a music student, i think it would've given me clear direction. gives me life to hear such a thoughtful take on "game music sounds"
