The 2nd Annual 24-Hour Songwriting Challenge consisted of musicians from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania who recorded new and original music in a 24-hour period on September 12th, 2015.

Not only is this a fun challenge, all proceeds from the whole album or indivual tracks are going to benefit various chapters of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in New Jersey.

For the artists, whomever’s track receives the most individual downloads from now until November 16th will win time at EightSixteen Studios to re-record their submission as a proper single (minus the 24-hour restriction).

The 37 tracks were curated by Speak Into My Good Eye. You can listen to all tracks here.

To music & mental health,

Hanna has had 8 solo exhibits in the past year, and seeks “an emotional response” to his sociological and analytical art. He provokes with chaotic, visually stimulating works.
