Please set your tracks from last week (“Planetary Headspace”) to download, if you’re so inclined, because this week’s project will be building on last week’s.
Disquiet Junto Project 0437: Echo Relocation
The Assignment: Record someone else’s field recording of their environment playing within your own.
This project is a collaboration with the artist and experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats.
Step 1: Select one or more of the field recordings submitted to the Junto last week. There is a playlist of nearly 50 at
https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0436
And a couple more sprinkled through the discussion at
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0436-planetary-headspace/
Step 2: Play the track(s) in your own environment, indoors or outside, situating other people’s acoustic environments in your living space.
Step 3: Record the confluence of near and distant sounds.
Step 4: Share your new field recording for others to play and record in their own living environments.
Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:
Step 1: Include “disquiet0437” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.
Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0437” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.
Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.
Step 4: Post your tracks in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0437-echo-relocation/
Step 5: Annotate your tracks with a brief explanation of your approach and process.
Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #disquietjunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.
Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
Additional Details:
Deadline: This project’s deadline is Monday, May 18, 2020, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, May 14, 2020.
Length: The length is up to you. Let nature take its course.
Title/Tag: When posting your tracks, please include “disquiet0437” in the title of the tracks, and where applicable (on SoundCloud, for example) as a tag.
Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.
Download: Given the nature of this particular project sequence, it is best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).
