Description: OH NO!! Your favourite game is making a sequel and it just happens to have an Ice Level. The game company has hired YOU to make music for it and your first task is to write music for that Ice Level. They need the track in the next 4 weeks so they can send a demo of the level to the publisher.
The goal of this challenge is to create a winter tune. It can be eerie, happy, sad, you name it. It can also be made with any instrumentation you wish… You want to make a dubstep/chiptune/(insert any other sort of instrumentation you please)? Have at it!

If we don’t feel the winter, you’re fired from this fantasy gig
Other than that, have a
bell ball
