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 appear in the lllllll.co discussion thread.
These following instructions went to the group email list (via juntoletter.disquiet.com).
Disquiet Junto Project 0642: Kick from Champagne
The Assignment: Use carbonation to make a beat.
Step 1: Make kick drums from the sound of something carbonated.
Step 2: Make a rhythmic track (think techno, but certainly follow your own muse) using the result of Step 1.
Thanks to the folks in the Echo Chamber Slack whose discussion about techno and kicks informed this week’s project.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0642” (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-0642-kick-from-champagne/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you.
Deadline: Monday, April 22, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

License: It’s preferred (but not required) to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., an attribution Creative Commons license).
