READ THIS: In case if you're looking for the three remaining Composita editions, they've been merged as fast live music compos in the Italian demoparties:
Composita #5 (results),
Composita #12 (results),
and Composita #16 (results).
This is an archive of the tracking music compo called "Composita", held on IRC between 1997 and 2000 in the #demo-ita channel. The participants were mainly Italian musicians and demosceners.
The rules were fairly simple: around 2 hours to produce a module with a fixed sampleset or a fixed theme, and some varying constraints or bonuses. The audience could then complete a voting form and send it to the organizers of each episode.
I've left some rules and voting files in Italian here and there because I think they're part of the fun.
The archive is probably 99% complete, but I prefer to save it than to lose it forever.
