Metapop Future Jazz Challenge in collaboration with Strength In Numbers (SIN) Berlin
Objective:
Make Future Jazz* and widen your harmonic palette by adding more advanced chords, specifically ones that use 7ths and 9ths.  
Method:
For this challenge we are providing you with two 16-bar midi files, one in C Major and one in A minor. They both play a repeating 4-bar pattern, adding complexity each time it cycles.
To use, import the midi file of your choice into your DAW - with many you can just drag-and-drop - and onto a midi instrument track. Feel free to edit, re-order, and transpose the midi data however you like.
You may want to start with just the initial 4 bars and swap in more complex versions of those chords until you find the perfect balance. A mix of simple and complex is often the best, but let your own taste be your guide.
Build a track up around the chords - the result can be any tempo or style but must include at least two of the given chords.
For extra help see the Resources in the included PDF file. 
Upload:
When you’re done, upload the resulting track to the Chord Challenge page for feedback and for a chance to win a Native Instruments store voucher.
Have fun!
