Psychedelic Trance - Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge Streamthrough
Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - The Streamthough!
”In the heart of summer, you and your friends decided to embark on a camping trip to the mysterious and eerie Blue Mist Mountain. Legends whispered that strange occurrences happened on the mountain, and it was rumored to be haunted by ancient spirits. Ignoring the spooky tales, you and your friends were excited for an unforgettable camping experience. As you set up your campsite, the sun began to set, casting long shadows across the forest.
You gathered around a crackling campfire, having beers and exchanging gear stories trying to add a thrilling element to your adventure. Unbeknownst to you, the mountain had a peculiar effect on sounds, and even the slightest rustle of leaves echoed mysteriously. As night fell, you heard distant, hypnotic music that seemed to emanate from the heart of the mountain. The beats were rhythmic, the melodies enchanting, and everyone was both captivated and puzzled. One of you suggested to follow the sound and investigate its source.
With flashlights in hand, you ventured into the woods, guided by the pulsating trance music. The forest grew denser, and the sounds became more pronounced. As you approached the heart of the mountain, you noticed an ethereal glow illuminating the trees. Emerging from the dense foliage, you stumbled upon an extraordinary sight - a hidden clearing adorned with colorful lights, psychedelic decorations, and a stage where HWJammers were setting up their equipment.
It was a psychedelic trance festival unlike anything you had ever seen before. You were both shocked and excited by your unexpected discovery. The festival-goers, dressed in vibrant clothing, greeted you warmly, assuming you were new attendees who had just arrived. You decided to embrace the moment and join the festivities, feeling the allure of the pulsating music and the positive energy that filled the air.
For this weekend challenge you have to make a psychedelic trance tune! Get inspired from the story above, embrace the warmth welcome and give it all!”
