Judges Quotes
Invanon -> fantasy universe #8 -> clean, musically coherent, integrates the original instrument together with a wide palette of sounds derived from just a few sources …
Markolissimo -> Destiny -> also a nice, jeff-mills-y beatbox track that really fits into the musical history of the instrument …
Client - the mighty 808 -> atmospheric thrack that creates a wide palette of sounds from the beatboxes …
Naswalt - 808/909 -> both of naswalts tracks get a wide and very clean sound palette out of the beatboxes, and musically rank amongst the most elegant … yet I feel that they’re completely masking the instrument itself instead of integrating or showing it somehow.
Inavon With its clean chords and smoothly layered melodies, this track delivers a refreshing sense of balance and clarity.
NÁS NEZABIJEŠ!!! ☮ The vocal-inspired effect is executed beautifully, adding depth and personality to the arrangement.
JayFK A solid track, marked by excellent sound design and well-balanced mixing.
Naswalt 909Trust Naswalt to get a wailing guitar sound from a 909. Enough said.
Olondro Bit crushed techno courtesy of an Audiotool techno veteran; really clean techy vibes and exactly the kind of thing these machines were used for.
Naswalt 808: I'm a little surprised nobody else really attempted to use the 808 to make Trap considering the genre's history. Naswalt executed it perfectly and then went and added a melody, atmospherics, and chords.
Client An incredible cinematic piece from Client, once again demonstrating his ability to develop complex sounds despite limitations.
Inavon What started as a basic tech/house beat quickly evolved into a more complex and ever-evolving soundscape blending house and trance. The multiple arps and melodic elements expertly layered over each other cemented this track at first place.
You can find all these tracks and the many other amazing submissions in this album.

Congrats @Inavon! And congrats every participant!
As well as appreciate judges for a hard work of evaluation and track arrangement, considering, that majority of them are amazingly built with constrainted environment (only 909s or 808s).
Looking forward to have more fun events from you!
Best, Mark;)

Congrats all, really amazing to see what you can really do with what you got, I feel like we limit ourselves way too often by comparing AT to FL or Ableton; this is a good example of true creativity 🙏🏼

Wow, what an honor. Congrats to everyone; there were a lot of cool techniques used to make these drum machines do things that they weren't meant to do.
