READ THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU ADD: 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 (Trip '98) (results),
Composita #12 (The Italian Gathering '98) (results),
and Composita #16 (Trip '99) (results).
With the main Composita almost complete, the results for the twenty-eighth edition is still missing and so does the entries from the first two editions here. If you know of them and still have the mods somewhere, it'd be much appreciated if you can ping us staff over on our Discord server or upload them to scene.org. Thank you!

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.
