Disquiet Junto Project 0662: Spin Cycle
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
Such a great showing last week. Thanks to everyone who participated, commented, shared, and listened.
It’s somewhat ironic that this week’s project takes a form of competition as its topic, since part of the point of the Junto is an absence of competition — that is, we don’t select a “best” track each week. It’ll be exciting to hear what people make of this project.
Thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity.
Best from San Francisco,
Marc

Disquiet Junto Project 0662: Spin Cycle
The Assignment: Record a piece of music that pits one bicyclist against another.
Step 1: Imagine a bicycle race underway. Picture two competitors in the lead, running neck and neck for a long distance.
Step 2: Record a piece of music in which two prominent musical elements align, one each, with the two bicyclists in Step 1. How would you depict their rivalry as it unfolds, the give and take as each bicyclist strains to pull ahead of the other?
Note: You need not continue to the end of the race, when one or the other wins. You could simply focus on a segment of the race.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0662” (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-0662-spin-cycle/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you. Is it a sprint or a marathon? How many loops?
Deadline: Monday, September 9, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
