Microsoft is inviting unsigned artists to create music inspired by Xbox 360 videogames.

Participating artists in the Xbox Soundtracks program will be able to download and score music to a variety of Xbox 360 videogame trailers this coming May. Completed works will be uploaded to a dedicated Web site and rated by fans. Winners from different countries will receive studio recording time with Universal Music Group.
