Disquiet Junto Project 0648: Shadow Boxing
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
Not much to report this week. Just settling into summer as the school year comes to an end. We’ve had a bunch of new people join this mailing list and participate in projects lately, which has been great to see (and hear). As always, if you have any questions, let me know. And also as always: thanks for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity.
Best from San Francisco,
. . .
Disquiet Junto Project 0648: Shadow Boxing
The Assignment: Employ shadow boxing as a musical metaphor.
Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the concept of shadow boxing, in which one exercises as if there were an opponent.
Step 2: Record a piece of music that explores the idea of shadow boxing — of acting out an interaction, violent or otherwise, in which the opponent is imaginary.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0648” (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.
