I know the month isn't over yet but I'm forbidden from starting any new projects until I finish an existing one. As with last time there will be context for almost all of these in the comments. Enjoy!

I should mention, 1/9 "shoes" was actually started on the 7th and finished on the 9th, so I didn't really make three whole song ideas in one day - more like 2 and a quarter

- 1/1 "factory" - made to mark the end of my first true all nighters. Wanted something slower and industrial for the Ragdoll album. - 1/8 "morale" - no comment - 1/9 "shoes" - played by me, for once. Tried to do something Deftones-y but ended up just playing power chords with an extra octave. Oh well. - 1/9-2 "street sweepers, loved to death / NITRO" - originally made for the Ragdoll album. It will now be a virux track for the upcoming album.

- 1/23-2 'bassic' - wanted to make something where the main riff was played on the bass before I completely forgot what I was doing. - 1/24 'dynamo' - honestly has the best chance of becoming a real track. I just wanted to make something catchy.

- 1/19 'bullets' - metalcore attempt inspired by a random riff battle vid I saw that day. - 1/21 'bombs' - slightly inspired by SOAD's B.Y.O.B. Not a huge fan of this one. The intro drum solo was inspired by one of Mario Duplantier's drum solo vids. - 1/22 'lost' - tried to make melodic thrash. - 1/23 '1hr' - 1 hour challenge. I did not realize most of these ideas were made in 1-2 hours, so this was nothing new.

- 1/9-3 "extras" - wow, January 9th was a super productive day. This was inspired by a track with the same name on the Guilty Gear soundtrack. - 1/11 "loose" - tried to do something Knocked Loose style. failed slightly. - 1/14 "power" - the first of the demos made for my self titled album. This was mostly a tone and mixing test. - 1/16 "south" - inspired by Slayer's "South of Heaven" - 1/18 "odd" - my experiment with 12/8ths time. It was hard and janky.
