Disquiet Junto Project 0685: Pick-Me-Up
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
This week’s project feels a little more open-ended than some are, but I never really know what people will make of the instructions. Which is part of the enjoyment, for sure.
And the latest Junto Profile is up, a Q&A with Marjorie Van Halteren, who lives in Lille, France, though she is originally from the U.S. A few more Profiles are in the works. I’m slowly catching up with email. Life remains a bit crazy, to say the least.
Thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity.
Best from rainy San Francisco,
Marc Weidenbaum

Disquiet Junto Project 0685: Pick-Me-Up
The Assignment: Treat a set of sounds like a game of pick up sticks.
Step 1: Think about pick up sticks, the children’s game.
Step 2: Assemble a small collection of sounds.
Step 3: Record a piece of music in which you employ the sounds from Step 2 as if in a game of pick up sticks.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0685” (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-0685-pick-me-up/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you. How long of a game is it?
Deadline: Monday, February 17, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
