Full-Contact Competition
Win Tom Holkenborg’s Percussion and Brass

It’s the distant future—language has gone, and warring tribes use drums to communicate with each other. Drums as a warning, drums for battle rallies, and drums for surrender. Write a piece that shows a drum dialog between two tribes!

We’re offering a free sound pack of percussion hits as a starting point for your track—it’s available as a free download within SINE. You can use any other tools you want — sample libraries, live instruments, field recordings, or whatever else you have in your studio.

The judges are Tom Holkenborg and Hendrik Schwarzer. They’ll be looking for three elements in the winning compositions:

1. Good use of the samples provided
2. Great rhythm programming
3. Originality
