Forgive me if I’m not setting the challenge correctly. I’ve just discovered this thread and love the idea.
If you have ever played computer games which have a menu/ setup screen, you may have noticed that they often have some kind of looping score that plays in the background before you enter the main game. The same occurs with DVD menus - but what’s a DVD, right?
The idea is to create your own looping track.
Rules:
-
must have some kind of crescendo from beginning to end (tempo, pitch, harmony etc),
-
time limit of 60 seconds,
-
must to loop seamlessly (the resulting rendered audio should be playable on a loop),
-
no more than 4 separate tracks (drums counted as one),
-
please explain the tracks/ instruments used,
-
at least one Elektron,
-
describe the game/ DVD/ menu for which the loop was created - real or imagined.
-
prize - TBC, but probably a field recording I made when in Brazil years ago.

CLOSING DATE - April 1st 2019
NB. I don’t mean to step on anyone’s toes as I see that new challenges are supposed to be submitted by the ‘base’, but the closing date for the previous one was the 8th of August.
PS. This has been updated to reflect increased interest in the challenge - a new deadline has been set. Huzzah!
