Field Recording Contest
A Soundium challenge: the city became the instrument. Seven producers, a secret theme, three hours to record the city and three hours to turn those sounds - and nothing else - into a track. Here are the results and every track.

Seven producers, one city, three winners
On September 10 seven producers gathered at the Soundium store, heard the theme, and went sound hunting through Vilnius. Six hours later each had a finished composition built only from what they recorded that day. The Soundium jury picked three; every track is on Bandcamp below.
The theme, revealed on the day“The city's circulation and an object from an unknown home”

Six hours, two halves

Briefing + theme - 10:00
Meet at the Soundium store. The brief and the composition theme were handed out on the spot - secret until then.

Record - 11:00-14:00
Into the city with your own rig to build a sample pack from scratch: traffic, rooms, machines, voices - whatever you could capture.

Compose - 15:00-18:00
After a lunch break, back at the Soundium store: recordings turned into an abstract composition on your own laptop.
