Each Thursday at the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.com 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.
This assignment was made in the evening, California time, on Thursday, September 5, with 11:59pm on the following Monday, September 9, 2013, as the deadline.
These are the instructions that went out to the group’s email list (at tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto):
Disquiet Junto Project 0088: 3D
This week’s project focuses on the spatial aspect of sound. The instructions are as follows:
Part 1: Your track will consist of three simultaneous segments: a drone, a beat, and a melodic fragment.
Part 2: Each of those three segments will repeat consistently for the length of the finished track.
Part 3: The only thing that will change is that you will manipulate them to simulate three-dimensional motion for someone listening to the track on headphones. You can do this by using stereo effects, volume shifts, filters, or any other technological means.
Part 4: Your track will last one minute and thirty seconds. For the first 30 seconds, the drone and the beat will remain consistent, but the melodic fragment will move around in 3D. For the second 30 seconds, only the beat will move around, and for the final 30 seconds, only the drone will move around.
Deadline: Monday, September 9, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.
Length: Your track should have a duration of one minute and thirty seconds.
