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 0687: Applied Science
The Assignment: Record a piece of music that explores physiological and behavioral techniques.
Step 1: It is understood in biology that there are differences between the “behavioral” and the “physiological,” between an action or response a person makes by choice, and one that happens on instinct or involuntarily. (Please forgive these rough descriptions.) Familiarize yourself with the concepts.
Step 2: Consider various ways that some musical activities might be considered behavioral, such as consciously playing notes, and others might be physiological, such as maintaining a beat.
Step 3: Record a piece of music that combines a mix of some of the behavioral and physiological music activities you thought about in Step 2.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0687” (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-0687-applied-science/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you.
Deadline: Monday, March 3, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
