The Composer Weekend Jam is a music jam, for composers of all levels to challenge themselves to create something new in a weekend in a controlled stress environment. Like traditional game jams, collaboration is highly encouraged. Perhaps you have someone else add a layer to your audio, maybe you mix someone else's track. The sky is the limit! 

This event is run by ScoringTech.net - be sure to check out the blog for some good music related content.  Be sure to join our discord- we can use that to give feedback or discuss the tracks at the end of this jam or prep for future iterations of our monthly jam.

Rules & Guidelines

You can compose in any genre or style you like as long as you relate your music to the theme Music must be original and written during the time of the jam Though Itch is a game centric site, you do not need to be a "game composer" to participate! Music of all kinds is allowed and encouraged Music generated via ai rather than written is not allowed.

Aim for at least 60 seconds. Quality over quantity, but feel free to go longer if desired.

Projects can be submitted in a .wav or .mp3 file. If there are interactive elements feel free to submit a screen cap of your wwise project and showing off interactivity

Theme: 

make a track using MAXIMUM 4 patches/sounds. early video game music had strict limitations on the amount of voices/sound you can use and it led to some amazing innovative music. One of the easiest ways to break a creative block is to actually give yourself less freedom, not more. Restrictions lead to freedom and creative problem solving. How can we make the most of what material we start with??? That’s for you to figure out this week. The idea is to limit the amount of colors you’re allowed to use on this. 4 patches, or 4 different sounds totals.
