Advancement is the third Album-A-Day attempt and was the first one where I got over 20 minutes of music made, which, when I first started doing the whole Album-A-Day Project was the original goal.

Work began on the music from midnight of October 3rd, 2022. Several breaks were taken throughout the day but work on the album itself ceased at approximately 11:51pm.
This attempt was more successful than Something Familiar and Fidgety Tunes due to me picking a theme for the album and sticking with it. The idea was for the main tracks to all start with a simple piano motif that would last throughout, the only exception was track 7 which planned on being more elaborate, but due to time constraints ended up being completely different.
Another theme that became more present as I was composing the album was that it felt like it could be suited to a JRPG, so the shorter tracks in the album went with that theme.
Album Art
The album art was created by me using Paint.NET. It's a simple gradient of black to dusty-pink with the album's name at the top in grey, capital letters. there is some minor glitchiness visible in the gradient if zoomed-in, this was generated by sharpening the image.
This was the first album-a-day album to get "proper" album art because I planned on uploading this album to Bandcamp.
