Disquiet Junto Project 0715: Err Apparent
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
Not a whole lot to report. San Francisco is, by its peculiar local standards, exceedingly humid and more than a tad hot; my brain has melted a bit, though things do seem to be improving.
As always, project ideas welcome — and, as always, I am catching up on email.
And if you’ve been doing Junto projects regularly (not weekly by any means, just regularly) for, say, 9 months or more, and would like to be interviewed for a Junto Profile Q&A, please lemme know.
And thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity. It means the world.
Best from San Francisco,
Marc Weidenbaum

Disquiet Junto Project 0715: Err Apparent
The Assignment: Make a mistake on purpose. Build something from it.
Step 1: Play something wrong and record it. The sequence could be a fumble at a keyboard, or a series of bum notes on a guitar, or a erroneous beat.
Step 2: Emphasize the flaws from Step 1 through repetition and variation, and in the process record a piece of music.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0715” (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-0715-err-apparent/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.
Additional Details:
Length: The length is up to you.
Deadline: Monday, September 15, 2025, 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).
