**CHALLENGE CLOSED** 7 DAY CHALLENGE - PRODUCERS/MUSICIANS Instrumental track challenge for studio credit

Competitions
#1

Hey Guys!

We’re trying something a little different this week. We want you to have a go at making a purely instrumental track. No other rules. Any and all genres welcome, just have fun and try something new! It could be a grime instrumental, a 20 minute long experimental prog rock track, or even just a drum break! We will choose a winner and 2 runners up on 10th Feb, with the winner taking £50/$50/€50 studio credit and the runners up each taking £20.

Important bits:

  • Final entries should be uploaded to SoundCloud and published to this thread (simply paste the link).
  • Closing date is Wednesday 10th Feb.
  • As you work, feel free to post your works in progress on the competition thread for feedback from other members and Pirate staff.
  • NO VOCALS.

I’m looking forward to hearing what you guys come up with, good luck!

Tracks including vocals distorted past the point of being recognisable will still be eligible for entry.

02:00-02:30 reminds me of something from Velociraptor era Kasabian, could imagine it with a string section as an intro to a track. Sounding sick man!

Hello, that sounds like a fun challenge. I recently finished a remix (for personal use) of Depeche Mode’s - Enjoy the silence. Here is the instrumental track I would like to share with you.

Hi Guys,

Currently doing a part-time course in Ableton, so have a beat from this week and added a few synths and such. Haven’t learned to master properly yet so I’d love any and all feedback on the song, sounds, timing etc.

Also, it’s a private link so please let me know if you’ve any issues with accessing.

Cheers,
Rob
