Rules:
How many samples you use is up to you, but the samples provided (or sounds derived from them) must be not less than 50% of the sound of the final track. You can apply any processing and editing to the samples, including the use of samplers. Additionally, you can use any acoustic or electro-acoustic instruments, including voice with or without lyrics.
However, the use of additional electronic (analogue or digital) instruments (synthesizers, drum machines etc.) is prohibited. You may use SOMA Laboratory instruments (and are encouraged to do so!), but their use will not be specially rewarded 🙂
The maximum length of your track is 3 minutes. There is no minimum length.

Musicality and creativity are the decisive factors in the jury’s vote!
