Disquiet Junto Project 0683: Space Shot
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
First, I had this email scheduled to go out on time (12:10am Pacific), but for some reason it didn’t. I’m sending now (6:26am Pacific).
Thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity. I usually sign off that way, but I want to give it a little more emphasis this week. The Junto has been around for well over a decade now, starting way back in January 2012, and a lot of people have come and gone, some returning, some pausing, and many have stayed for extended periods once they’ve joined. No matter the specific duration, frequency, or cadence of those individual presences, in combination they have formed what can be termed, for lack of a less overused word, a community. I really can’t do justice to the sensation I experience (to the way I am both inspired and touched) each week (683 consecutive weeks to date) when musicians take these rough ideas (from the stringent to the open-ended) for music composition prompts (some my own, some in collaboration with others) and make music from them. It’s quite something, and I never take it for granted, not your efforts, your insights, or your time. The year is still quite young, and who knows what will come of it, but we’ll keep making music together, and learning from and with each other.
And that covers it. Thanks so much.
Best from San Francisco,
Marc Weidenbaum

Disquiet Junto Project 0683: Space Shot
The Assignment: Combine reverberant and non-reverberant.
There is just one step to this project. Record a piece of music in which half of the material is recorded in a highly reverberant space (or has spaciousness applied to it through effects) and half of the material is just sound in isolation, devoid of any sense of space or place.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0683” (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-0683-space-shot/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you.
Deadline: Monday, February 3, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
About: https://disquiet.com/junto/
Newsletter: https://juntoletter.disquiet.com/
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).
