I am happy to announce the launch of the “Soundiron Iron Pack Contest”, a music production competition in collaboration with Soundiron.
In this contest we are challenging you to create a piece of music from a single sound source, the Iron Pack #1: Grand Piano.
This pack is built on sounds cultivated from the Emotional Piano. With 100 MB of content, and 12 instrument presets for both Kontakt and SFZ, this handy kit offers a beautiful collection of atmospheric pads and mutated piano tones.
It features a 10 creative sustaining and tuned percussive banks hand-crafted by warping the raw source, plus a pair of lightweight low-memory acoustic grand piano patch to give a tiny, playable preview of our premier Emotional Piano.
Having limitations can really boost your creativity, so we are looking forward to hearing what you will come up with!
Soundiron is offering some fantastic prizes for this contest.
- 1st prize winner will receive a copy of Symphony Series Brass Ensemble, a Kontakt Player instrument featuring a massive 32-piece brass ensemble, with divisi Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, and Tuba sections.
- 2nd prize winner gets the Olympus Elements choral instrument library.
- 3rd prize winner takes Apocalypse Percussion Elements, a collection of aggressive scoring and concert drums and cymbals.
The deadline for submitting your entry is October 9th, 2015, 11.59pm CET. We will announce the winners shortly after. Please check the rules below on how to take part.
Good luck!
