Open Challenge #14: Title Redacted

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

Once we choose our idea, do we start a new Open Challenge thread?
