100 years after the death of Alexander Scriabin, his music lives on in a form he would never have expected. A week ago, I announced the Patchwork Scriabin quest along with UniqueSound, and 49 people contributed to our Scriabin “sound quilt” by recording a measure of his Prelude in A minor, Op. 11 No. 2. I’m excited to present our final mashup, with 68 uniquely-produced measures. You’ll hear trombones, bells, accordions, chiptune synths, wine glasses, dog growls, dance beats, and much more.

The Results

We actually had TWO people earn 4 votes each, so we have a two-way tie for first place. The winners are Timon Wientzek (measure 46 at 1:08) and Thom Robson (measure 49 at 1:15)! Congrats guys! They’ll split the winnings and receive $50 each from UniqueSound.

If you’re interested in being notified of future challenges like these, make sure you’re subscribed to the Composer Quest email list and the UniqueSound email list (at the bottom of this post).
