this is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard in my life. 

this is STILL one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard in my life.

Growing can be hard. Because part of you, burrowed down in sorrow says ‘it’s warm here’. But each day you push against it, you feel it’s power fade.

Fading

What a lovely prompt... and a tough one! 

I’m bad at minimalism. Most of my tracks somewhat baroque (fancy excuse for „too dense“). For this assignment I tried to reduce wherever I could. Once again, working with silence is a thing I still need to learn. Spent two hours balancing between silence and notes with the help of of transient designers and gates. Brought the sounds-silent ratio down to maybe 60:40.

Disquiet Junto Project 0605: Fifty Fifty 
The Assignment: Compose a piece of music with as much silence as notes.

There’s just one step to this project:

Compose a piece of music with as much silence as notes.

(Thanks to Jason Richardson for having proposed it.)

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0605” (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 “disquiet0605” (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 track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0605-fifty-fifty/

Step 5: Annotate your track 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.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.
