I mentioned this over on the llllllll.co bulletin board, and will here, because news travels in various patterns, and often the best communication strategy is repetition. So:
There have been fantastic works this week in the second project in the Disquiet Junto sequence in which we build trios asynchronously over three weeks. I love hearing these trios take shape as time progresses. I feel torn, because at the heart of it, I want to hear every solo become at least a duet. And yet, on the other hand, some of my favorite musical experiences are listening closely as an individual solo becomes a variety of duets, thanks to the intervention of different asynchronous colleagues — and in turn, I find myself imagining the hypothetical trios that might yet emerge.
To that end: of the original 43 solos from the first phase of this three-week sequence, just 11 (as of this blog post) have yet to become duets — so, I’m going to ask that, for those who have the time to put in, and the interest do do so, please do select one of the remaining solos (the ones highlighted in yellow in the shared spreadsheet), which I’ve been updating manually for the past two weeks, and go for it — even if that means you’ll have done a third (or even fourth) duet.
To be clear: don’t rush it; only elect to do a duet with one of these if you can engage with the source material. Also, feel free to extend the deadline up until the start of this coming Thursday’s third and final phase of the project, just to fit these in.
Thanks, everyone. And as always, let me know if you have any questions.
