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 0690: Knot Bad
The Assignment: Interpret wood grain as a graphic score.
Step 1: Find a piece of wood, the grain of which captures your imagination.
Step 2: Consider how the shapes of the grain might be interpreted as a graphically notated score. (If you are not familiar with the concept of a graphic score, read up.)
Step 3: Record a piece of music in which you interpret the grain of the wood you selected in Step 1 as a graphic score.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0690” (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-0690-knot-bad/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you. How long do those grain lines run?
Deadline: Monday, March 24, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
