another case of endless futzing around, because i really like what's happening at times, but it doesn't really meet what i had in mind for "dirty minimalism". initially i'd been going more for a dirty version of http://soundcloud.com/all-n4tural/rflct-disquiet0010-reflect, but then all these other things happened. o well.

<b>Disquiet Junto Project 0041: Dirty Minimalism  </b>
All Disquiet Junto projects employ constraint as a means to stimulate creativity and productivity. Sometimes this means limiting oneself to specific source material, other times to a conceptual approach, and there's always the additional constraint of time: the deadline is approximately four days, depending on your time zone.  

For this Disquiet Junto project, the constraint is a matter of terminology. This week we're exploring how the concept of "genre" can itself serve as a restraint, and we'll accomplish this by pushing back at genre conventions.  

The project instructions are straightforward: Record an original piece of music that you feel belongs within the genre of "minimalism" — but that also, you feel, sounds "dirty" in some considerable way.  

The idea we're pushing at here is that most of the time, when one sees the word "minimalism" employed in regard to art and music, there's an understanding that it involves an almost clinical aesthetic. The sole exception on any regular basis would be certain realms of droning death metal — examples of which would certainly be welcome in this week's Junto. This week we're going to push minimalism out of its comfort zone.  

Restrictions: You can use any source material, any instrumentation, except the human voice.  

Deadline: Monday, October 15, at 11:59pm wherever you are.  

Length: Your finished work should be between 2 and 4 minutes in length.
