Éclat Part 154

Avatar eclatcrew | December 2, 2025

This week's workshop's samples come from another Bandcamp search for "Sample Packs" - I highly recommend having a browse if you're looking for some samples made by independent musicians!

These samples come to us grace of Maddie Ashman, a composer and songwriter from London who writes microtonal music and is fascinated by the resonance and unlimited possibilities of just intonation (pure tuning).

Download the Microtonal sample pack from her Bandcamp here. To download for free enter 0 in the "Enter Amount" field and then click "Download To Computer" - alternatively you can send Maddie some money for her sample pack.

The challenge this week is to make a track of ± 2 minutes long using ONLY these samples for any pitched / melodic material in your track. (You can use other samples / drum machines for noise and percussive elements.)

Upload your track to this dropbox folder by 20:30! Rejoin the Zoom call at 21:00 for our listening session.

For ideas on using samples in your tracks, check out the tutorials below!
