***In Brief:*** Great interview with **Steve Roden** at [acloserlisten.com](http://acloserlisten.com/2013/03/12/sound-propositions-04-steve-roden-part-i/), and there remains a full second part, due in a week. ¶ Some albums keep on growing, even after their initial release. *3m33s*, organized by Montreal-based **Le Berger**, contains 33 drones, each three seconds over three and a half minutes in length, and each by a different participant (among them **Grzegorz Bojanek**, **Scott Lawlor**, **Cinchel**, **Nils Quak**, **Matthew Barlow**, **Guy Birkin**, **Katie Gately**, **Ted James**, **subnaught**, and the **OO-Ray**). Purchase a copy and you will also get any additional tracks that are produced: [leberger.bandcamp.com](http://leberger.bandcamp.com/album/3m33s). The music is excellent (it streams in full below), but that aside, the model is worth emulating.
¶ Lasers made from sound ([wired.com](http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/03/sound-lasers-phasers/)), and resulting discussion whether phonic-based lasers are “phasers.” ¶ New book from **Carsten Nicolai** (aka **Alva Noto**), *syn chron*, “brings art, architecture, and music together in one inventive project” ([gestalten.com](http://usshop.gestalten.com/shopwindow/syn-chron.html)).

¶ The [63rd Disquiet Junto project](https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet0063-gregorianorianian), which was completed yesterday evening, resulted in 24 tracks of a surreptitious Gregorian chant recording being played back in a reverberant space and then transformed through digital approximations of [echo](https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet0063-gregorianorianian). The weekly project series is nearing its 2,000th track, and has had well over 300 participants. ¶ Just the occasional reminder that there are Disquiet.com outposts at [twitter.com/disquiet](https://twitter.com/disquiet) and [app.net/disquiet](https://alpha.app.net/disquiet) and [instagram.com/dsqt](http://instagram.com/dsqt) and [soundcloud.com/disquiet](https://soundcloud.com/disquiet) and [thisismyjam.com/disquiet](http://thisismyjam.com/disquiet) and [facebook.com/disquiet.fb](http://www.facebook.com/disquiet.fb) and [bandcamp.com/disquiet](http://bandcamp.com/disquiet), and (as @disquiet) on the recently released Vine.co six-second video-loop app. Among other places.
