about

I chose the wonderful mix by @supple_be_disquiet_junto & @matthewh538, added some stuff, and just pretending nothing is wrong in the world

The Assignment: Complete a trio by adding a track to an existing duet by two other musicians.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that encourages and rewards asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0430 3). Note that you are finishing a trio — you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians created. Keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record an original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are well over 100 tracks in all to choose from, 103 as part of this playlist:

soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0430 5

And then three others. Two from Bassling (aka Jason Richardson). Consider the first 104 and the second 105:

llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-pr…embles-x-2/30579/2/

llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-pr…mbles-x-2/30579/65/

And the 106th is from Samarobryn:

llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-pr…bles-x-2/30579/132/

To select a track, you can listen through all that (warning: that’s well over five hours of music) and choose one, or you can use a random number generator to select a number from 1 to 106, the first 103 being numbered in the above SoundCloud playlist, and the three other numbered as described above. (Note: it’s fine if more than one person uses the same original track as the basis for their piece.)

Step 3: Record a piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and it should be placed dead center between the left and right stereo channels. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original piece of music at all. To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track from Step 2 and yours.

Step 4: Also be sure, when done, to make the finished track downloadable, because it may be used by someone else in a subsequent Junto project.

Step 5: As with last week, you can contribute more than one track this week. You can do up to three total. Unlike with your first track, you should choose your second and third randomly. However, if you end up with something you really don’t enjoy working on, then you can roll again. And alternately, you can choose to use a track no one else has used yet (by looking at the project’s post on Lines, linked to in these instructions, or to the project playlist, which will be posted here once tracks start coming in). The goal is for many as people as possible to benefit from the experience of being part of an asynchronous collaboration. After a lot of detailed instruction, that is the spirit of this project.
