Disquiet Junto Project 0649: Concerto for [ ]
Each Thursday in the Disquiet Junto music community, a new compositional challenge is set before the group’s members, who then have five days to record and upload a track in response to the project instructions.
Membership in the Junto is open: just join and participate. (A SoundCloud account is helpful but not required.) There’s no pressure to do every project. The Junto is weekly so that you know it’s there, every Thursday through Monday, when your time and interest align.
Tracks are added to the SoundCloud playlist for the duration of the project. Additional (non-SoundCloud) tracks also generally appear in the lllllll.co discussion thread.
These following instructions went to the group email list (via juntoletter.disquiet.com).
Disquiet Junto Project 0649: Concerto for [ ]
The Assignment: Write a piece of music informed by the concerto form
Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the concerto form. For example, consider the idea of having a soloist amid a larger instrumental setting, and of having a three-part structure that goes fast, then slow, then fast again.
Step 2: Needless to say, you needn’t necessarily record a piece of classical music, but employ what you know about concerto form in a new, original piece of music.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0649” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.
Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track, but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition.
Share: Post your track and a description/explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0649-concerto-for/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you. It’s need not be symphonic.
Deadline: Monday, June 10, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
