Disquiet Junto Project 0671: In the Air Tonight
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
I want to thank everyone — present and past — who participates in the Disquiet Junto. This ever-changing and growing — and yet consistently paced — community of musicians around the world has been running since the first week of January 2012. The Junto projects are very centering for me to work on each week, and I know the Junto is of benefit to those who participate regularly, and to those who drop in occasionally, and to those who simply like reading the new assignment each passing week. I want to thank you all, as always, for your time, creativity, and curiosity — and in equal measure. Be good to yourselves, and each other. The Junto projects go out every Thursday so you can depend on them: they are available for you to join in when you have the opportunity and the interest.
This week’s project is more about sound, one might say, than about music. It will be great to hear what you make with and of it.
Best from San Francisco,
Marc Weidenbaum

Disquiet Junto Project 0671: In the Air Tonight
The Assignment: Make an atmosphere of your own.
Step 1: Rather than record music, in the traditional sense, you are going to spend time assembling a sonic environment, what might be thought of as an atmosphere. Think about what that might entail. Please begin this process with the understanding that you will create the atmosphere from scratch, which is to say: not using field recordings of existing environments.
Step 2: Think about the sort of atmosphere you want to make. It might help to experiment by first making some quick rough drafts, in order to see what sorts of atmospheres your skills and equipment lend themselves to.
Step 3: Now record the atmosphere you decided upon in Step 2, adhering to the directions mentioned in Step 1.
