Disquiet Junto Project 0709: Overclocked
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
This week’s Disquiet Junto project, “Overclocked,” appears below. We’ve had a lot of newcomers to the mailing list lately. If you have any questions or project ideas, let me know. The past two weeks have involved the human voice, and we’ll be doing another voice-centered project in the near future, just not this week (though, of course, you may elect to use your voice).
And that covers it. Thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity.
Best from San Francisco,
Marc Weidenbaum

Disquiet Junto Project 0709: Overclocked
The Assignment: Speed up a machine (or process) until it falters.
Step 1: Think of a machine (or process) you use frequently.
Step 2: Push that machine (or process) by speeding it up, until it begins to break down.
Step 3: Record something making use of the sounds resulting from Step 2.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0709” (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-0709-overclocked/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you. How fast can you go?
Deadline: Monday, August 4, 2025, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
