After playing with the sounds in the Tortured Piano library over the last few weeks, I’ve become fascinated as to the ways these sounds can be processed, altered & recontextualised… But I am even more so interested in what other people might do with the sounds…. So I’ve just released the FREE version of the Tortured Piano library (45 x 16BIT 44.1KHZ Stereo .WAV sounds 58MB) and am hereby launching the first HISSandaROAR remix competition! See below for details…..
NOTE: there are only three rules:
1. The only source material must be from the TORTURED PIANO FREE library. You can obviously manipulate and process them in any way you like, but no other sound sources are allowed (eg other samples, instruments, recordings etc)
2. Upload your finished entry to Soundcloud and join the Tortured Piano Remix soundcloud group then use the Share to Group button on your track to add it. Also please post a comment below with a link to it
3. Submissions must be uploaded & a comment added here BEFORE Monday 8th August
There will be three winners and each winner will receive a free copy of the full 192kHz 7GB Tortured Piano library. I have no idea what criteria I’ll use when listening and choosing, because I am totally open to what might be created…. Surprise me!

Hi everyone,
I finished my Remix. In order to expand the range of genres, I have made a blues. I hope you like the track. A great contest. Good luck to all composers, remixer, sound designer and madmen.

Hi Tim,
one more thing: Your samples sound really great!
Thank you for this outstanding competition.
Best regards,
Christian
I put the link in the wrong place, though I submitted the song to the right place. I hope it still counts.
http://soundcloud.com/abergman/i-went-to-pieces-but-did-not
yep thats ok, I’ve made a database of all the soundcloud uploads & theres probably a dozen who haven’t commented here – I’ll go message them on soundcloud as otherwise dont have their email address for contact etc…
Thank you very much, Tim. This is the most fun I have had in a competition.
Hi Tim,
thanks for your Email. Please contact me again if there is any problem.
Thanks,

Looking forward to see the results! Thanks.
I really enjoyed this competition. Most submissions where very creative and fun to listen to!
This is my submission:

hi Dear Tim
great competition, but, what about the duration?
thank you
duration is up to you
Great idea, Tim. I’m in.
Question:
Is worldizing allowed? You mentioned any manipulation is OK but no new recordings added in so I think worldizing should be OK but I wanted to make sure before I did some crazy stuff. You know me… >:)
Thanks!
- Ryan
For sure, worldizing is fine.. Same for IR verbs etc…
Hi Tim. Super excited to do this. Can we use the microloop the samples to make oscillators with or do they need to be recognizably related to the original recordings?
Cheers.
-aaron
Hi, you can do whatever you like… but I’ll be listening to it with the source material in mind….

Great posts so far – note for any first time commenters here, I have to moderate/approve your first comment, so don’t fear if your comment doesn’t appear instantly – it will sooner or later!
That was an interesting challenge. I’m looking forward to hearing the wild ideas that everyone else comes up with.

I kinda made music out of the samples. Hopefully that is ok. Samples were just ideal to make music out of:)

Can you add your track to the soundcloud group please?

Nice competition Tim, there should be some interesting results.
Here’s my entry. As I was uploading I realised this was somewhat in the style of certain videos that promote a certain sound design library…
Nevermind was fun to make!
