Upload your beat until Tuesday, June 11th, 6:00pm EST

Samples are:

Walter Taieb - The oasis
Ludovico Einaudi - Passaggio

The reason why I chose these is that there's not many drums in the samples. So you can get some clean instrument chops and use them in any thinkable way.

great samples
great quality

This is gonna be an intresting battle, let's see them emotions come out now!

Congrats to Elmar!! nicely done

I'm a try and get back in on this one..

Congo-Rats Elmar, well deserved.

Congrats to the file-sharing, super-dude, Elmar!

Yeah good job elmar.

Havent copped the samples yet but im down with the battle i love me some open source material

I'm deciding to really up my game on this one, reinventing phase seems to of occured this morning

Just came back from work. Wanted to add some more info on the samples:

The Ludovico Einaudi sample is from his first album "Le onde" (1996). His music was one of my main sources for piano sounds in 2006/2007 roundabout (before I nearly stopped making any beats for several years). Very repetative music and what's even better mostly in 4/4. Check out http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN-tH07 ... ture=watch for some more music by him (mostly blocked for german youtube-users so I can't tell if it's representative for what I liked and used)

The Walter Taieb sample is from "The alchemist's symphony" (1998) which is music inspired by Paulo Coelho's book "The alchemist". Some nice string parts on that one, Really can't remember where I got that album from...

Hope you find something to use in the 2 samples.

Just watched the the second part of the concert posted above which isn't blocked for me:
