Disquiet Junto Project 0356: Ground Swell
The Assignment: Derive something spooky from a specific place.
Major thanks to @cmcavoy (Chris McAvoy) for having proposed this project.
Step 1: The goal is to create a piece of music that uses layers to create a sense of unease, eeriness, or disquiet.
Step 2: Think of a place that summons up the sensations described in Step 1.
Step 3: Derive sounds from the place that came to mind in Step 2. If you have access to the place, consider strategies to accomplish this (from field recordings, graphic notations, etc.). If you do not have access to the place, use your memories and impressions as a resource.
Step 4: Create a short piece of music using the sounds in Step 3 to achieve the goals of Step 1.
Six More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:
Step 1: Include ādisquiet0356ā (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your track.
Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag ādisquiet0356ā (no spaces or quotation marks). If youāre posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation a project playlist.
Step 3: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track.
Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co.
Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.
Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
