Disquiet Junto Project 0574: Audio Journal 2022
The Assignment: Create a sonic diary of the past year with a dozen (or more) super-brief segments.

As has become the tradition at the end of each calendar year, this week’s Junto project is a sound journal: a selective audio history of your past 12 months.

Step 1: You will select a different audio element to represent each of the past 12 months of 2022 — or you might opt for even more elements, choosing a segment for each week, or each day, for example. These audio elements will most likely be of music that you have yourself composed and recorded, but they might also consist of phone messages, field recordings, or other source material. These items should be somehow personal in nature, suitable to the autobiographical intention of the project; they should be of your own making, your own devising, and not drawn from third-party sources.

Step 2: You will then select one segment from each of these (most likely) dozen audio elements. If you’re doing a dozen items, one for each month, then five-second segments are recommended, for a total of one minute. Ultimately, though, the length of the segments and of the overall finished track are up to you.

Step 3: Then you will stitch these segments together, equally weighted, in chronological order to form one single track. There should be no overlap or gap between segments; they should simply proceed from one to the next.

Step 4: In the notes field accompanying the track, identify each of the audio segments.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, January 2, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, December 29, 2022.

Disquiet Junto Project 0574: Audio Journal 2022

This year I worked on many sound design projects (including my first series and my first major film), landed my work in several trailers, and contributed a large number of pieces to music and sound design libraries. In addition, I found a couple of new collaborators whose work and ideas helped to strengthen and diversify my own music, and led to a number of completed tracks. This selection of 24 brief snippets is representative of all this, a combination of completed tracks, unfinished pieces from my sketchbook, and miscellaneous sound design.
