Disquiet Junto Project 0671: In the Air Tonight
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.
Disquiet Junto Project 0671: In the Air Tonight
The Assignment: Make an atmosphere of your own.
Step 1: Rather than record music, in the traditional sense, you are going to spend time assembling a sonic environment, what might be thought of as an atmosphere. Think about what that might entail. Please begin this process with the understanding that you will create the atmosphere from scratch, which is to say: not using field recordings of existing environments.
Step 2: Think about the sort of atmosphere you want to make. It might help to experiment by first making some quick rough drafts, in order to see what sorts of atmospheres your skills and equipment lend themselves to.
Step 3: Now record the atmosphere you decided upon in Step 2, adhering to the directions mentioned in Step 1.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0671” (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-0671-in-the-air-tonight/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you. How long do you want to hang out in your chosen environment?
Deadline: Monday, November 11, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
