On a Day: Music for Violin & Continuo (commonly referred to as: On a Day...) is the debut instrumental album by Emilie Autumn, released in 1997. The album was recorded in 1997 when Autumn was seventeen years old. Its title refers to the fact that the album took only a day to record. It consists of her performing works for the baroque violin accompanied by friends on the cello, harpsichord, and lute. She considered it "more of a demo despite its length", and released it as "a saleable album" after fans who enjoyed her "rock performances starting asking for a classical album so that they could hear more of the violin".
On a Day... was originally released by Emilie Autumn on her own record label, Traitor Records, in 1997 after recording the album in one day. The album was re-released digitally by Trisol Music Group. The album was again re-released as "Laced" on Emilie's second instrumental album Laced / Unlaced, though proper credit for the original artists who played instruments other than the violin was missing.
