Disquiet Junto Project 0755: Give Way

The Assignment: Combine two tracks.

His shows a railway crossing plus the name and number of the project.

Each Thursday in the Disquiet Junto music community, a new compositional challenge is set before the group’s members, who then have five days to record and upload a track in response to the project instructions.

Membership in the Junto is open: just join and participate. (A SoundCloud account is helpful but not required.) There’s no pressure to do every project. The Junto is weekly so that you know it’s there, every Thursday through Monday, when your time and interest align.

Tracks are added to the SoundCloud playlist for the duration of the project. Additional (non-SoundCloud) tracks also generally appear in the llllllll.co discussion thread.

Disquiet Junto Project 0755: Give Way
The Assignment: Combine two tracks.

There is just one step for this project: To create a piece of music, combine two different tracks with an ear to how they give way to each other.

Bonus: Post a sign from where you live, and maybe it will become a Disquiet Junto project down the road, so to speak.

Thanks to Jason Richardson (aka Bassling) for proposing the project. More from him at bassling.blogspot.com.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include “disquiet0755” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.

Upload: A person participating in the Disquiet Junto should post only one track per weekly project (SoundCloud account preferred but not required). If on occasion you feel inspired to post more than one track (whether to a single account or across multiple accounts), you should clarify which is the “main” rendition for consideration by fellow members and (if on SoundCloud) for inclusion in the SoundCloud playlist.

Share: Post your track and a description/explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0755-give-way/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you.

Deadline: Monday, June 22, 2026, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Noise Terrorism

Open and closed

From Rachel Kushner’s The Flamethrowers, in which young Italian artists explore sound’s potential as a weapon:

The little gang played amplified noises on these evenings at the café, sounds that had been recorded at Lonzi’s apartment by hitting sledgehammers on anvils, or snipping giant hedge shears attached to pickup microphones, SNIP SNIP, open and closed, which they announced to the audience were the sounds of the pope’s feet being severed at the ankle. The king’s fingers sawed off at the knuckle. The optic nerve of God’s one big eye cut.
