..and who pays for the sounds? each participant of the contest?!?
Good quality film-orchestra sounds are a few thousand euros, which is

nevertheless still cheaper than hiring an orchestra ;)
For marzipanmovie.com I ended up recording a Quartett and did overdubs,

that worked quite well, but it was a hell lot of work editing.
Well, I don't know what Durian will be about, but there's of course the

option of an alternative - non classical - sound-track. A creative

sound-designer could orchestrate the whole thing in Csound or pure-data ;)
