Music Production
Participants produce an original musical piece designed to be played during the closing session of the national TSA conference. The quality of the musical piece and required documentation (including elements such as a plan of work, self-evaluation, and a list of hardware, software, and instruments used) determines advancement to the semifinal level of competition, during which semifinalist participants are interviewed.
Theme
Compose an original, dynamic soundtrack for a climactic boss battle in a futuristic or fantasy video game. The music should portray the intensity of the encounter through creative composition, sound design, and production techniques, with escalating tension, dramatic contrasts, powerful climaxes, and seamless looping.
