The idea is to learn a tracker and also get out of your own head. Stop being a perfectionist and just create something! No winners or ranking. You get the pride in completing a new project and learning something new!

So:

- Pick a tracker(some choices below) You may have to look up tutorials and such

- Compose something. Give us at least 1 minute or material, but don't spend more than 48 total hours on it.

-Submit it here on itch(MAKE SURE IT'S SET TO PUBLIC SO I CAN SEE YOUR SUBMISSION), we'll listen to all submissions on emaudio's stream Oct11th! (Submit a wav or mp3)

What is a tracker: https://sonicstate.com/news/2022/02/01/the-guide-to-trackers/

A music tracker (sometimes referred to as a tracker for short) is a type of music sequencer software for creating music. The music is represented as discrete musical notes positioned in several channels at chronological positions on a vertical timeline.^[1] A music tracker's user interface is traditionally number based. Notes, parameter changes, effects and other commands are entered with the keyboard into a grid of fixed time slots as codes consisting of letters, numbers and hexadecimal digits.^[2] Separate patterns have independent timelines; a complete song consists of a master list of repeated patterns.
