Schedule
Track Meet
This year for Make Music Day, composers, producers and songwriters from around the world joined together in a collaborative race against the clock.
Over the course of six hours, teams of four musicians – most of whom had never met before – created brand-new original tracks in a creative relay. Using the virtual audio workstation SoundTrap, each musician had 90 minutes to add their contribution before the next teammate took over.
Congratulations to our four Track Meet teams — check out their tracks below!
