The Science of Oz

Every week, when I send out the Disquiet Junto project, I don’t actually send it out directly. I set it up in various digital publishing tools, primarily my disquiet.com website and an email list service, and then I set them both on timers. I am almost always deep asleep when they actually go out, shortly after midnight. I do all this knowing that some of the first Junto members to see each week’s project instructions are in Australia, and in fact it’s not uncommon for an Australian track to pop up on the llllllll.co discussion thread before I wake up. (I’m looking at you, Bassling* — aka Jason Richardson.) So it seems particularly appropriate that this week’s project has as its basis the research of four scientists from an Australian University. I first became aware of it as part of the process of putting together my This Week in Sound email newsletter.

*And indeed, he had recorded and posted before I was up.

Slightly adapted from the note that appeared in the October 24, 2024, issue of the Disquiet Junto project announcement newsletter.
