Every week, when I send out the Disquiet Junto project, I don’t actually send it out directly. I set it up in various digital publishing tools, primarily my disquiet.com website and an email list service, and then I set them both on timers. I am almost always deep asleep when they actually go out, shortly after midnight. I do all this knowing that some of the first Junto members to see each week’s project instructions are in Australia, and in fact it’s not uncommon for an Australian track to pop up on the llllllll.co discussion thread before I wake up. (I’m looking at you, Bassling* — aka Jason Richardson.) So it seems particularly appropriate that this week’s project has as its basis the research of four scientists from an Australian University. I first became aware of it as part of the process of putting together my This Week in Sound email newsletter.
*And indeed, he had recorded and posted before I was up.
Slightly adapted from the note that appeared in the October 24, 2024, issue of the Disquiet Junto project announcement newsletter.
Thanks Marc, I didn’t want to disappoint you!
It’s good that Antipodeans can get a head start on the Junto, since I often let it derail my plans for Friday before you started automating the announcements.
I love our collaborations and these prompts to record.
You never disappoint. Thank you! And getting the Junto emails going out, like the blog posts, as a scheduled thing has been a solid improvement. I wish I could make Discourse do the same for the llllllll.co threads.
