Éclat Part 155

Avatar eclatcrew | December 16, 2025

This week's workshop is a special one sponsored by BandLab! They make a free online DAW that anyone can use. Seeing how much we love tools that make music-making accessible to everyone, this felt like a good fit.

For this week's challenge, we're using the Modern Pop Hooks sample pack that our guest curator Sable put together for BandLab! Sable is an artist, producer and sound engineer with a focus on the everyday and the intimate, inspired by the pioneering works of Kate Bush, Bon Iver and James Blake.

Download the samples here!

The challenge this week is to make a track of ± 2 minutes long using at least one of the samples from the sample pack, plus any other sounds, samples and instruments you like.

Upload your track to this dropbox folder if you're participating from afar and we'll add your track to the SoundCloud playlist!
