There’s no such things as a free lunch, especially on the internet. 

Ads were always a nuisance, first in Radio, then in TV, now on YouTube. The problem is – and I don’t have to mention that in the Lines community - that other people are making the money, not the artist, unless you’re really popular. If I upload my track to YouTube (it’s Creative Commons), Google will inject at least 2-3 ads and cash in the money without my consent. And I’ll never see a cent of that. 

The idea of injecting ads to break the cycle, as the assignment says, came fast. But it took two days until I had „the product“  ready. It contains Playbox, the awesome Mercury from Cherry Audio, SQ-80, Reaktor and a ton of drums. I also recorded some ads from YouTube and skipped them after the obligatory seconds. Mixing took another half day, so I spent at least 12-18 hours with the assignment. 

I’ve uploaded an ads-free and free to download version on Soundcloud, also.

Disquiet Junto Project 0553: Break That Cycle The Assignment: Record in a steady tempo but break it on occasion.  This is a one-step project: Record in a steady tempo but break it on occasion. For example, you might record a piece of music in 4/4 at a steady pace, but occasionally break it by including an extra bar or a stray three-bar sequence, or a segment that’s notably faster or slower.  Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:  Step 1: Include “disquiet0553” (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 “disquiet0553” (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:  Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0553-break-that-cycle/  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.  Additional Details:  Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, August 8, 2022, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, August 4, 2022.  Length: The length is up to you.  (…)
