>Disquiet Junto Project 0092: Room Tone Suite
>
>This week’s project explores the role a room takes in shaping sound. The instructions are as follows:
>
>Step 1: Choose a recent piece of music that you have recorded. Locate a 30-second section that is fairly static and repetitive.
>
>Step 2: Choose three rooms that have different acoustics, perhaps all in the same place, such as your home.
>
>Step 3: Play back the piece of music loudly in each room and record it. This will result in three 30-second clips.
>
>Step 4: Stitch the clips together.
>
>Step 5: Upload the track and annotate with a description of the rooms and your process. Also, if available, include a link to the original version of your track, for the listener’s reference.
>
>Deadline: Monday, October 7, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.
>
>Length: Your track should have a duration of 90 seconds.
>
>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.
