*Each Thursday at [the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com](http://soundcloud.com/groups/disquiet-junto/) a new compositional challenge is set before the group’s members, who then have just over four days to upload a track in response to the assignment. Membership in the Junto is open: [just join and participate](http://soundcloud.com/groups/disquiet-junto/).*
This assignment was made in the afternoon, California time, on Thursday, December 13, with 11:59pm on the following Monday, December 17, as the deadline. (There are no translations this week.)
These are the instructions that went out to the group’s email list (at [tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto](http://tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto)).
>Disquiet Junto Project 0050: -…….–.-..-…-
>
>This week’s project explores invokes Morse Code for its rhythmic content. The instructions are as follows: Select a word or phrase. Encode that word or phrase by the Morse method. Record a rhythmic foundation in which the dash is represented by a long beat and the dot by a brief one. Use that rhythmic foundation as a loop for the length of your track, at the speed you desire — speed can vary over the length of the recording. Record accompanying drone/melodic material that takes the underlying rhythm as its compositional foundation.
>
>Deadline: Monday, December 17, at 11:59pm wherever you are.
>
>Length: Your finished work should be between 1 and 3 minutes in length.
>
>Information: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud, include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto.
>Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term “disquiet0050-morsebeat”in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.
>
>Download: For this project, your track should be set as downloadable, and allow for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons License permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).
>
>Linking: When posting the track, be sure to include this information:

i notice a subtle change in the set listing above — they no longer list the artists.
or was it always so? maybe i’m just next-soundcloud paranoid ..
That was always the case, I am fairly certain.
And I like this idea of “next-soundcloud paranoid.” That is the unfortunate result of diminished confidence.
