Flip Out : Sample Challenge

Join us for this terms sample challenge, hosted by John Davies and Michael Denny.

Brief:

We’ll give you the sample and you’ll have just over an hour to ‘flip’ it (think Andrew Huang’s 4 Producers 1 Sample meets Fact Magazine’s Against The Clock).

Chop, splice, granulate, loop, reverse, shift, trigger, mangle and process the sample however you want (even build a sampler-instrument). Build a beat, add any instruments, voices or sounds of your choosing - any genre, any style, no limitations! *

Timings:

We’ll release a download link to the short audio sample at 8pm (London time). You’ll then have until 9pm to use it as the basis for a brand new track idea.

You’ll upload a 16-bar bounce of wherever you’ve managed to get to then we’ll have a quick listen to what y’all manage to come up with!

Sensei Challenge:

More experienced producers wanting a bit of an advanced workout can elect to take the SENSEI CHALLENGE - build a track idea using only the sample - (all elements in the track must be created from the sample - using audio processing and/or sample-based synthesis - no other instruments, voices or external samples allowed, yikes!)
