Austin Wintory Composition Contest (2023)

 This is my entry for Austin Wintory's Composer Contest. I was given a string of 12 notes and I had 3 weeks to make music based off of it. I decided to challange myself by 

A. Making a lot of music in a short amount of time, and

B. Playing most the instruments myself, which involved recording and mixing.

It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work.
