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 project was published in the evening, California time, on Thursday, March 20, with 11:59pm on the following Monday, March 24, 2014, as the deadline.
These are the instructions that went out to the group’s email list (at tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto):

Hi, Larry. That is so weird. Just as you were posting this, I was familiarizing myself with the Naviar Haiku series, and I just did a post about your recent entry. I knew about Extrospection, but wasn’t familiar with It’s That Time of the Month. Thanks!
