Monastery Rec. is honored to return with the second installment to it's Various Artists 'Vari-Tech' compilation series. Hosting a number of returning names from our previous 'FIRST MASS' [2020] compilation and the labels catalog, while simultaneously introducing a handful of new faces, 'SECOND COMING' delivers a range of different takes on a single concept, 'Glitch'. With no other constraints or major direction, each artist was given the freedom to contribute a track built on that theme alone, infusing each of their unique flavors. The results yielded a plethora of creatively different interpretations, some more abstract, while others - very on the nose. Through this compilation release, you will hear many literal glitch effects, lots of which are very electronic, like a device breaking, while others fall on the more 'organic' side, sounding more akin to that of a neon tadpole spawning ground...or something like that. We'll let you be the judge.

A special thank you to ALL the amazing artists who took the time to put in their hard work towards this release. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible. Please go show them all your support and love!

I am going to be transparent for the sake of anyone who has any interest in this SoundCloud account: I no longer have any inspiration for music. I've been dealing with severe waves of depression and a lack of motivation for over two years in my personal life, and in regards to my creativity, I honestly feel as if it has been slowly dwindling for the past few years. I'm far too burned out on covers, and any ideas for original music never stick around long enough to manifest into anything worthwhile.
I realise that it's somewhat ironic - or perhaps simply hypocritical - but this upload is actually an original piece of music I wrote to make this statement. Whether it is disjointed or uninspired as part of me wants to feel is up to you. It's the most I've been able to get out my head in almost four years.
I'm not deleting anything, I'm not going to do anything irrational in regards to my personal life. I just feel like I have run most of my musical ability dry. I had a good run.
This track should max out my upload time. If I ever come back to composition or arrangements, I'll probably make a new channel anyway.

have the module and nsf links i suppose:
