Disquiet Junto Project 0672: Day Break
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 0672: Day Break
The Assignment: Make a handful of sonic alerts for various purposes.
Step 1: You’re going to make alarm sounds. Think about the alarms and alerts — phone, egg timer, microwave, neighborhood church bells, etc. — that currently go off regularly in your life.
Step 2: Make a list of a handful of instances you want to create an alert for, like something urgent and something that’s a gentle reminder, and so forth. Maybe you have a different tone for each morning of the week?
Step 3: Record roughly five (more or less) sonic alerts for the purposes you decided upon in Step 2.
Step 4: Make one track with each of the alerts separated briefly by some silence. When posting the track online, be sure to list the intention behind each alert.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0672” (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 https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0672-day-break/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you. How long do you plan to snooze for?
Deadline: Monday, November 18, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
