Disquiet Junto Project 0720: One from Two
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
Nothing big to report. Just plugging along.
This week’s project involves reworking recent work. It was inspired by a few different observations, one of which comes in the form of a memory from college. I worked for a spell on one of the literary magazines published by students. Early my first year, the editor-in-chief had quickly announced a due date for submissions. My immediate sense was this impending date didn’t provide sufficient time for potential contributors to write something. I came to understand that the sort of writers this publication was looking for didn’t need to be told to do something in order to start it. They would already be writing regularly. They just needed to be given a deadline to finish one of the things they were working on. I think about this experience all the time.
And that covers it. Thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity.
Best from San Francisco, where it’s beginning, if briefly, to feel like autumn,
Marc Weidenbaum

Disquiet Junto Project 0720: One from Two
The Assignment: Combine a pair of your recent tracks.
Step 1: You just recognized something. Two tracks you’ve been working on but haven’t finished would work better if you turned them into one single track.
Step 2: Choose two of your recent works-in-progress.
Step 3: Combine — by whatever means you see fit to employ — the two tracks from Step 2 into a single track.
Tasks Upon Completion:
Label: Include “disquiet0720” (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-0720-one-from-two/
Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Deadline: Monday, October 20, 2025, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.
