Heck yeah that was a blast. More than anything it kind of pulled me out of my Iull.
Since my last attempt at a record I hadn’t been able to get back in the groove.
This challenge jumpstarted my juices

Okay!
What started as a few days grace period to see if anything else trickled in ( didnt happen) turned into a few weeks and now here we are.
Rather than open a new thread with voting i am going to use my superpowers as Creator Host of this Open Challenge to declare @bodymechanics and @sleepside joint winners in this Challenge.
Huzzah!
Whatever you fine people decide to do for the next one, however you come up with that, whether one person takes on the responsibility or you co-author an idea together, that is up to you.
The Open Challenge is dead. Long Live the Open Challenge!

@bodymechanics, I am happy to either collaborate or let you lead if you have a good idea. We can DM about it

I’m not exactly sure what we’re taking responsibility for?
Coming up with a new challenge?
Yeah, the winners of these challenges usually hosts the next challenge, coming up with a theme, deadline, and any rules

Ahhh ok.
Yeah let’s throw some ideas around in DMs see what we come up with
The pressure!
Open Challenge has in the past been open to anyone regardless of gear used, genre, etc. Its more about trying new things you normally wouldnt think of doing. (So not a hiphop battle or what ever) its non competative, and usually really fun.
If you come up with any ideas, I’m looking forward to hearing them. Search on the forum to see past Open Challenges. There have been 14.

I think the first one was the Mars one, could be wrong. You had to use samples from the NASA Martian Rover. @Microtribe had a strong submission to that one. I had a good idea but lost focus. I’d also just gotten my OT and had no idea what I was doing

Linked them all. Also, @ViolentMeals, the challenge you were thinking of was a track challenge: Track Challenge: Sounds of Mars
