Disquiet Junto Project 0718: Planet Jam It
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
Hello from San Francisco. This coming weekend is the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival which, per its name, is more than just bluegrass, and in fact Marc Ribot is performing on Friday, which will be the highlight of my week. The highlight of next week will be seeing Autechre. In between I get to see Nick Lowe. Not bad a bad week. And two of those three shows are free.
And that about covers it. Thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity. I think this week’s project should be fun, but I am never the best predictor of the outcome each week, which is arguably precisely how it should be.
Best from San Francisco,
Marc Weidenbaum

Disquiet Junto Project 0718: Planet Jam It
The Assignment: Record the sound of an advanced alien civilization.
The year is 2126, and your spaceship is on a routine science expedition of the outer reaches of previously unexplored parts of the universe. Your crew has encountered, for the first known time in human history, a planet that is home to sentient life that has developed an advanced civilization not unlike our own. After settling into geosynchronous orbit, you send down a stealth drone to explore. The drone captures audio and video. Please share the audio of your drone’s reconnaissance mission.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0718” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.
Upload: A person participating in the Disquiet Junto should post only one track per weekly project (SoundCloud account preferred but not required). If on occasion you feel inspired to post more than one track (whether to a single account or across multiple accounts), you should clarify which is the “main” rendition for consideration by fellow members and (if on SoundCloud) for inclusion in the SoundCloud playlist.
Share: Post your track and a description/explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0718-planet-jam-it/
