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.

i made a vow upon your name
and i know we’ll never change
even if our leaves turn brown
i’ll hold you close through the winter

on the day we said goodbye
i didn’t want you to see me cry
you said the night grows dark
i don’t want to fade away just yet


as i stared into the evening
i saw, i saw
everything dissolved around me
i’m lost

i can only see you in my deepest dreams
i can only see you when i close my eyes

gave it away
there’s nothing left of me
deciduous
falling in way to deep

i feel so special when you look in my direction
i tried to leave so you would give me your attention
but now you’re gone

i can only see you in my deepest dreams
i can only see you when i close my eyes

PHONO RECORDS VOL.3 Organic「昼」/「夜」

童年的我，喜欢向湖中甩出一块石子，然后聆听水波被激起时清脆的声响。

水面上的波纹一圈圈推向湖岸，溅起的水声传向远方又反射回耳中。它们如同树木的纹理，在比例不同的时空中遵循着相同规律循环生长。

如果我丢入湖中的石子是一粒种子，那么波纹与回声就是自然生长的枝干与树叶。它们遵循着不知是谁为这个世界定下的规律，跟随时间的方向伸展前行，仿佛拥有生命。

亦或是生命仿佛落入水面的石子，在时空搭建的湖面上层层绘制着文明的波纹。

·PHONO / 42「奔跑」

我再次漫步在云端，
可我这次忘记了带上我的翅膀。
甚至都不记得，
我们曾经可以肆意地做梦。
现在努力去理解，
那些不应该被禁止的韵律。
但这次，我只是用音乐而不是言语来歌唱。

Lyrics:
Walking on the clouds again
And I forgot to bring my wings this time
Don’t even remember when
We could just dream without a crime
Struggling now to realice
They shouldn’t have to be forbidden rimes
But singing with no words this time
Hm hmmm
Taruraruraarero, taruraruraareroirero
taruraruraarero, don’t wanna slow down
Stepping out the rainbow bridge
It’s raining so the floor’s about to fall
Trina chase the thunder pitch
But nature got more notes than I can hold
Golden drops will be my chords
And I would play my song despite the cold
Hm hmmm
Taruraruraarero, taruraruraareroirero
taruraruraarero, don’t wanna slow down
