Talibra

The stone listens. Now we need to hear it. We're seeking original compositions that evoke the world of Talibra – the low hum of geothermal vents, the weight of the chains, the silence pockets, the grief storms. Your music could become part of the official Talibra canon.

Technical requirements: 44.1 kHz, 16‑bit WAV or FLAC. Length: 2–5 minutes. Pure grayscale in audio – no lyrics telling the story, only feeling it.
