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.

Lyrics:

(verse 1 - Kyoruka)
Every day I see
I don't want to be
So tell me if there's hope to be someone free
It feels like there's something immoral in me

(prechorus)
({} - Pulvite)
([] - Kyoruka)
{Though it might be far away} [far in the future!]
{We'll be okay} [can it come sooner!]
{As long as there's some way} [I hope that there's some way]
To cure it

{Though our safety's compromised} [even inside me!]
{We're still alive} [I know I can be free and]
{And we'll} still burn brighter than any other star in the sky


(chorus - both)
The burning flame inside you see
It burns a name I'd rather be
And to express and dress in a way that's reflecting me

Our bodies filled with golden flares
Shouting our names into the air
Hoping to live a little longer than thirty years

Although there's something on your mind
You know that there's always the time
That's ticking on and on and knows that you've always tried

In this new life so crystalline
It's almost like the stars aligned
In their entropical, paradoxical design

(interlude)
Kyoruka: I wore a skirt at the age of eight in a Walmart changing room..
Pulvite: (laughter)
Kyoruka: ..and my brain has been rotten ever since
Pulvite: Oh my gosh, that's what started it? Nawh that's great
Kyoruka: And, I didn't fully realize it until I was like twelve but.. y'know
Pulvite: Oh wow

(verse 2 - Pulvite)
I've heard of you
And what you go through
So tell me if I have the same feelings too
I've realized in time, I'm not different to you

(prechorus)
([] - Pulvite)
({} - Kyoruka)
{Though we might be far away} [Seeking a new truth]
{We'll be okay} [clearing my mind-view]
{We'll find our own way} [I know we'll do Better]
Together

{Though our safety's compromised} [watching our people]
{We're still alive} [slain by the evil and]
{And we're} still burning bright no matter what the media says

(chorus)
The burning flame inside you see
It burns a name I'd rather be
And to express and dress in a way that's reflecting me

Our bodies filled with golden flares
Shouting our names into the air
Hoping to live a little longer than thirty years

Although there's something on your mind
You know that there's always the time
That's ticking on and on and knows that you've always tried

In this new life so crystalline
It's almost like the stars aligned
In their entropical, paradoxical design

(postchorus / outro - Kyoruka)
Although there's something on your mind
You know that there's always the time
That's ticking on and on and knows that you've always tried

In this new life so crystalline
It's almost like the stars aligned
In their entropical, paradoxical design

You'll find there's something on your mind
That makes your struggle worth the time
To push forward on and on despite all the tears you've cried

You'll find a life worth burning for
A life you've never seen before
I know it's possible, even probable, so long as you keep on

Kyoruka & Pulvite - Burning In My Body

@jonahwhy @julianbugbee

On the bright and early morning of August 12th, 2023, over 1,000 creatives began their 24-hour work session that resulted in 558 unique songs and 66 album covers. Musicians bounced out stems for each other and shared samples, visual artists scoured the Internet for fonts and graphics, and everyone excitedly buzzed about what would come of it all. The final result? 45 of the most outstanding, creative, and genuine tracks our corner of the digital world has to offer—with an equally beautiful album cover to match.

The real enrichment lies in the act of creation. A piece of art does not have to be forward-thinking or never-seen-before, nor does it have to be better than the last; it simply has to be. To create something without worry of what others might think, to have fun with your work, is one of the greatest things this world has to offer—digital or otherwise.

All proceeds from All Nighter Vol. 8 will be going to Out & Equal, an organization dedicated to workplace equality for LGBTQ+ individuals.

>>>>FORM SUBMISSION<<<<

unfortunately --

made for artbyform any% level 2! didn't get in but had fun
cover by errepe and thefoxoverlord


they parley, communicate, I’m stuck
watch from afar, voice won’t leave my mouth

their big hearts, get them far, no luck
with this hole I’ve dug, deep beneath the ground

no luck!

I made this track within an 18 hour window for the FORM event any%, which raises money for charities. I love these events and am looking forward to more of them!

Midnight Syntax

This was my submission to the FORM any% Level 2 challenge. A type of production speedrun at which you have 18 hours to create a 50-70s long piece, so that's what I went for. Sadly it wasn't chosen for the final compilation. However I still wanna share it and might even turn it into a full length version later on. Hope you enjoy!
