This is my first published attempt at being a part of the Disquiet Junto project.

March 15th is the third anniversary of the imprisonment of Bassel Khartabil[0]. Marc's request was "to mark the third anniversary of his imprisonment, we’re imaging placid sounds emanating from solitude".

All the sounds were recorded in a carpeted room, using a Zoom H1, and the track was built with Audacity and Ableton Live. The original photo of Bassel used for the artwork was taken by Joi Ito[1].
