These are tracks which I wrote for the Battle of the Bits Advent Calendar event. Each track was written in one day or less. Every day had a different format and rules, which were kept secret until the day itself. (There were some non-musical formats as well!) I have also included some OHB (one hour battle) tracks which I made in December.
