Éclat Part 170

Avatar eclatcrew | July 21, 2026

This week we're using a sample pack from Swedish chiptune producer and hardware designer Lill Strumpa. She has a plethora of resources on her itch.io page on making chiptune and working with trackers (tools for music making like step sequencers but using data and text), and she also has a couple of really sweet sample packs. I reached out to her for permission to share her "Rainy Sidequest Sounds" pack for tonight's challenge, and very kindly said yes.

Download the sample pack here! - or alternatively, visit Lill Strumpa's itch.io page and buy the pack from her directly!

I also highly recommend checking out her Instagram where she demonstrates the hardware tracker that she built herself.

The challenge tonight is to use only these sounds (plus your voice if you're a vocalist) to make a new track of ± 2 minutes long. Upload your track to this dropbox folder by 20:30, and then rejoin the Zoom call at 21:00 for our listening session!
