Growl's Garden (Nathan Fake Remix)

i did an advent calendar event on battle of the bits this month: every day for 24 days, there was a new format (usually for music, chiptune or other restriction; sometimes visual art) + a prompt, and you could submit something only on that day... i got to try a bunch of new stuff and had much fun! here are the 19 songs that resulted.

the tracks are all labeled with what day they were and what format they were made for!

merry christmas all : ) thank you for listening!

When You're Here It Starts to Feel Like Christmas [day 11, all gear]

Snow Sketch

I've been working on this record for the better part of 3+ years. Much of the over-all concept was born out of a response to things related to the COVID-19 pandemic, either with themes of 'Escapism' and 'Isolation' (and the comfort that can come with it at times), or wanting to mentally remove myself to a safe space away from reality, as well as binge-watching trash TV with my partner, like 'Love Island', which definitely inspired the album cover and some of the track titles (such as 'Villa Dreamin'). Aesthetically there's also some loose nods to the liminal spaces present in "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" vibes from 'DBZ', the digital world as depicted in the 'Digimon' movie from the 90's, and my love for Pokemon (with 'Rare Candy'). I hope you enjoy this journey from start to finish!

THANK YOU: 

Ableton Live, you've made my musical life/journey possible.  
FAKENUMBERLAND, for hosting this album!
 
@DESKPOPmusic crew (& more specifically @Braz_OS & FLOOR BABA), for being amazing supports/friends through the years, as well as always inspiring me to push myself. 

@ninaeba, who was originally featured on the vocal version of 'Polygon Edge (Bittersweet Bop)'.

Sam Turner (creator of the indie beat rhythm game 'Slip Dream Resonator') for allowing the album version of 'Polygon Edge (Bittersweet Bop)' to premier/ be featured in their game! <3

@wearenova (label), because even though there was an issue with my upload & 'PEPSI® Blood' was sadly unable to appear on their 'OGC 2023' compilation, I'd' have never made the tune without being prompted to for that comp, & it truly belonged on this album!

A FINAL THANK YOU TO ALL MY TALENTED FRIENDS & EVERYONE WHO CONTINUES TO SUPPORT MY WORK & INSPIRE ME EVERY DAY! YOU'RE ALL AMAZING! <3 <3 <3

2.Nothing To Say

1.Never Mind

Delaware Indie Pop sensation @jennyflorinicia & Philly mystic @shadymonk join creative forces to bless Monastery Rec. in collaboration with visual art label 'Oh Yeah Cool' (https://www.ohyeah.cool/art/music) on this sweet and uplifting chilled out single, 'affirmation'. 

As it's namesake suggests, affirmation (written/sung by Jenny and composed/produced by Shady) is a song (or better yet an anthem) about celebrating ones self in the most positive and healthy ways. With mastering from @telyscopes and gorgeous evocative cover art painted by Elise Stewart, we're extremely proud to add this wonderful meeting of the minds to our catalog here at Monastery Rec., and we can't wait to hear what these two cook up next!~

Icy Bottleneck (Zone 2)

Clark - Future Daniel ( Nixcon Remix) 2016

I wrote this short little tune as a midi file back in 2012 or something and forgot about it. It was right after I heard aivi & surasshu's Mabe Village arrangement. Loops at 0:57.
