On January 21st, 2023, over 300 musicians and visual artists challenged themselves to create something in only 18 hours. Visual artists had to create a unique album cover & its supporting graphics, and musicians were limited to no less than 50 seconds and no more than 70 seconds for their songs; in short, a speedrun. The event encouraged creatives to think outside the box, picking their ideas apart in order to keep only the essentials. At the finish line, we received some of the most exciting tracks on a FORM compilation to date.

In the colors of each album cover and between the notes of each song are reflections of us— the artists. To leave pieces of ourselves *out* in lieu of a time constraint isn't easy, but it allows us to conclude what's at the center of what we create. Creativity, no matter how bare-bones or how complex & nuanced it is, is something nobody can ever take away.

All proceeds from any% will be going to SpecialEffect, a charity working to make video games accessible to those with physical disabilities.

13 writers putting pen to paper, 65 musicians composing pieces inspired by their writing, and 26 visual artists tying everything together with a cover illustration. From April 23rd to May 13th, 2023, these 104 creatives came together with one goal: to tell a story. The result amounted to thirteen beautiful tracks, rich with emotion, excitement, and wonder.

Stories take on infinitely many forms. A child's drawing. A home-cooked meal. A recount of the day given by someone returning home to their spouse. They do not have to be written, nor spoken with any amount of poetry or decorative language; they simply exist. Here's to the stories we tell. Whether written, drawn, or sang, whether a fantastic fable or a solemn look into the human experience, they all carry weight. We have no greater obligation than to simply tell them in whatever way we know how. 

All proceeds from Storybook: Chapter 2 will be donated to Active Minds, an organization supporting mental health awareness and education for young adults.

If I wake up, can I come back?
I've done my quest, I'm back on track
I'll take my leave, from this bright place
But I hope to not, forget your face

I put my trust in a ghost
Radiant (take over me)
Close friends (known formerly)
The place I long for the most
Color gradients are all I see
Odds and ends in dormancy

As the sun came into view
Following some inscrutable cue
I knew what I had to do
Please remember my face, I promise I will too

verse:
i learned to sing
so that whenever i feel down
i'll think of all my favourite songs 
and i can sing them all out loud

now i have another reason
and its not for me...
until we meet again 
i hope it helps you to remember me

chorus:
i'll start to sing beneath
the stars that i can see
i'll sing of all the things ill miss
all into a melody.

and you'll one day disappear
to search for what you wished
and that the journey wont be easy
no, but i will always wait for you.

wait for you.
back at home.
know that i will always wait for you.
