Disquiet Junto Project 0530: Minimally Viable Music
The Assignment: How much less is just shy of too little?

It was one of those bad news fridays, when the Disquiet Junto Corporation called and ordered a completely new sound and music strategy – to be delivered preferably on the same day. I asked my team: What do we need, what could we leave out? They decided for two basic waveforms and a scale; I voted for an additional sample, because samples are cool – and this one (a 'step' noise) could be played in various pitches and re-used as some percussion. "Remember: We don't need bells and whistles", I said, "So please forget all these chord progression nonsense, the envelope stuff, the filter shit and fancy fx!" Then I went out for a coffee in the old town, and when I came back to the agency, this is what they produced on a mini keyboard.
Nice job, people!

While everyone's focused on the latest mass shooting in the US, The Washington Post published what may be the first major acknowledgement from the mainstream western media that Ukraine's war against Russia has not been nearly the cakewalk they've been leading the public to believe.

In a new article titled "Ukrainian volunteer fighters in the east feel abandoned," WaPo reports that contrary to the triumphant narratives the western world is being spoon fed, many troops in eastern Ukraine have been surviving on one potato per day and deserting their posts because they feel their leaders have turned their backs on them and they're being sent to certain death.

"Stuck in their trenches, the Ukrainian volunteers lived off a potato per day as Russian forces pounded them with artillery and Grad rockets on a key eastern front line. Outnumbered, untrained and clutching only light weapons, the men prayed for the barrage to end," The Washington Post reports, citing multiple named sources.

"Ukrainian leaders have projected and nurtured a public image of military invulnerability — of their volunteer and professional forces triumphantly standing up to the Russian onslaught," the article reads. "But the experience of Lapko and his group of volunteers offers a rare and more realistic portrait of the conflict and Ukraine’s struggle to halt the Russian advance in parts of Donbas. Ukraine, like Russia, has provided scant information about deaths, injuries or losses of military equipment. But after three months of war, this company of 120 men is down to 54 because of deaths, injuries and desertions."
