**Disquiet Junto Project 0678: Commonplace Playlist**  
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.

Much like the previous year's assignment, the excerpts here are drawn from a variety of sources: phone recordings, hand-held recorders, specialised rigs, phone videos, an AudioMoth and a couple of Junto assignments.

A lot happened this year. From a creative standpoint it was one of the most creatively active periods I can remember, covering virtually every artistic outlet I wrap my practice around.

- 1. January - pipe knocking, work office building, Urrbrae.
- 2. February - drying seaweed at low tide, Little Gorge (Fleurieu Peninsula)
- 3. March - Lawrence English rings bell at Adelaide Festival of The Arts opening event, North Terrace, Adelaide. (audio extracted from phone video)
- 4. April - my installation work, Self Noise in-situ recording. *Neoterica* group exhibition, Adelaide Railway Station concourse.
- 5. May - guitar sketch, home.
- 6. June - mid-morning tide, Rapid Bay (Fleurieu Peninsula)
- 7. July - Junto 0655 excerpt.
- 8. August - Caffe on Bungala, Normanville (Fleurieu Peninsula)
- 9. September - Sulphur crested cockatoos on the way home from work, Urrbrae. (audio extracted from phone video)
- 10. October - Fleurieu Folk Festival ambience, Willunga. This is the end of a recording where a work colleague sees me and asks if I'm recording the surrounding ambience, which of course I am.
- 11. November - Junto 0670 excerpt.
- 12. December - AudioMoth recording of ultrasonic vocalisation from grey-headed flying fox passing over home in Parkside at 9:02pm, 20th December. Audio excerpt transposed down 36 semitones.

Tristan Louth-Robins is a South Australian artist working principally in the medium of sound art and field recording. Ideas of sound and its signification are key elements in Louth-Robins' practice, traversing the space between the visual and aural his work is realised through the mediums of recordings, installation, visual art and performance. He is interested in sound and its associative implications - including its relationship to objects, technology, urban space, memory and the natural world. 


Since 2005, Louth-Robins has presented work in Australia and internationally as a solo artist, whilst also collaborating with artists, writers, researchers, musicians and performers. 

Working across a vast array of activities encompassing composition, sound design, installation art, field recording and workshops, his work has been featured in events such as the Adelaide Festival of Arts (2006), The National Regional Arts Festival (2012), Mildura-Wentworth Arts Festival (2013), Fairfax Festival (2013) and Adelaide Fringe Festival (2014); and selected works exhibited at galleries including The Australian Experimental Art Foundation (2009), SASA Gallery (2012, 2015), Light Square Gallery (2012) and FELT Space (2015). His audio works have been broadcast on radio including Radio National, Classic FM, The BBC (UK), Acoustic Frontiers (USA) and RBB (Germany).
