New Music!

In November of 2023, Cohost.org user HBV started a site-wide friendly composer competition; each month or so they would put out a prompt on a predetermined Saturday morning, and participants had until midnight to write, record and post a song using said prompt - with the caveat that they should only spend 1-2 hours on the track.

This became known as “Compost” (truncated from Cohost Composer One Hour Battle)

With the shutdown of Cohost.org coming in October of 2024, I wanted to preserve the six songs I did during the run of the event and toss them on Bandcamp as a Free EP.

A reminder that each of these were written, recorded and mixed in roughly 2 hours each, so they’re not nearly as polished as what I’d usually go for but still, I think, worth a listen.

You can find the prompts for each song listed in the track info.
