[Edit: Yay, FrontPaged, thank you!]

Hey NG fam, MonoCronic here! For several months I've been teasing my second album, named Corners, all over the socials, and finally, it is here! I've decided to make it NG exclusive for a month or so, and only after y'all enjoy it enough, I will start distributing it to all the streaming services. So for now... Enjoy! Tracklist goes as follows!

Project R.0.K.0.
Black Bunny
Hive Mind
Corners
Dream Exploring
Risk Enjoyer

And... Here's the image of the cover art I've made by myself!

Fun fact: Mono got me to record audio of me moaning for the Black Bunny song.

MonoCronic responds:

@MonoCronic, what do you like about music?

This is a super good album! You have an interesting synth vibe, and the synth sounds are rich in depth and tone. The drums are good, and I like the sense of progression. Your songs are varied while still following an overall theme, and I also like your album cover.

@MonoCronic, when did your story with music began?

@MonoCronic, what techniques and pieces of wisdom do you have on creating? Also, thank you for making your album exclusive to Newgrounds for a month—that's super cool of you!

@MonoCronic, where do you feel musicians tend to go wrong, and why? What are some bad habits they develop?

MonoCronic responds:

What do I like about music? Complete freedom and versatility, first and foremost. Second, the fact that just with couple of sounds, and several notes, you could set up and absolute mood for the song, and express yourself not only through the lyrics, but through the sound itself as well!

When did my story begin? It was early 2010, February, to be exact. I bought my first bass guitar with the money I had from New Year's Eve, and since then I started practicing with bass, drums, and singing. Since 2010 I've been constantly intertwined with music in one way, or another. I used to play metal gigs from 2010 till 2015, in 2015 I switched to rap, and was dedicated to it until early 2020. And since 2020 I've started the MonoCronic project, still rocking with it along, not planning to stop any time soon!

Techniques and wisdom? To be honest... I consider myself a novice, despite the over a decade long experience. I'd say just trust your heart. Don't make music with your brain only, being smart about it isn't gonna be enough. You gotta put your heart and soul into it, otherwise you'll get a technically flawless, yet lifeless song, that sounds good only from the technical aspect. I am glad to make the album exclusive to NG for that time, since I owe my career to RyuuAkito, Cheshyre, and NewGrounds itself!

And about making wrong turns in music, hm... I'd say that many of musicians tend to become the prisoners of their own "skills/genre". Musicians should NEVER try to absolutely dedicate themselves to one thing and one thing only. Because that will lock them in one place, where all they will be able to do, is stamp the similar sounding songs over and over again, until they completely run out of any inspiration and will to continue composing. Always experiment, and try something new! Oh, and, don't be afraid of failure, don't let it narrate your future! Failure is just a step towards the success!!!
