Join the world of music composers
Full Orchestra is a curated community of musicians and music lovers designed to increase your odds of composing gorgeous songs that will make you proud.
We challenge ourselves
We select a sample together every month to start from the same inspiration. And then, a few weeks later, we all meet for a listening session and share our compositions with a welcoming crowd. The listeners share their feelings and thoughts about the songs.
Sample of the month
Deadline: September 29 2023 at 4 pm (GMT+2)
Join Ricard Casals Alexandri (RCA) as he takes us on a journey through a small square in Barcelona. We are able to hear the joyful sounds of children playing soccer and the distant ringing of a bell tower. This recording was captured using an MD MZ-R30 and ECM-929LT microphone.
Discover our various interpretations
We are thrilled to share the compositions inspired by RCA's sample.
Let's be imperfect
Having a short time to compose a song helps us to reconsider the definition of beauty and perfection. We live in a society where people are afraid to show what they love to create because it's not "perfect". But we see more beauty in an imperfect creation where a musician produces a song with love and vulnerability.
How to participate
The rules are straightforward.
1- The musicians must use the selected sample
2- Share their composition or draft before the day of the listening session.
Feel free to contact us on Instagram if you would like to organize a listening session in your city.

We carefully select a sample that will trigger your imagination without constraining you to one genre.

Start composing what the sample inspires you. Feel free to experiment with new genres & instruments.
Upload your song on Soundcloud
Upload your song on your Soundcloud profile and share with us the link of your song before the listenning session.
Share the link and join a listening session
On the day of the listening session, we will share the playlist with all the compositions and invite you if there is a listening session in your city.
Sample Challenge #3 Melting Glacier
Recorded by Tim Kahn, he has captured the gradual melting of a glacier. The ice trickles down through a maze of rocks at the glacier's edge, and the sample finishes with a rockfall in the distance.
Discover our various interpretations
We are thrilled to share the compositions inspired by Tim Kahn's sample.
