dequalsrxt<p>Brutalist drone for this week's <a href="https://mas.to/tags/disquietjunto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disquietjunto</span></a>. The prompt was to re-work a track to be busier, louder. I took that as a challenge to get as loud as possible. I find the results to be pretty unnerving tbh, it stresses me out. Unheimlich and shit. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/dequalsrxt/disquiet0710-lofi-drones-to-be" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">soundcloud.com/dequalsrxt/disq</span><span class="invisible">uiet0710-lofi-drones-to-be</span></a></p>

Disquiet Junto Project 0705: Book Start

The Assignment: Let the beginning of a book help you begin a new piece of music.

This week’s project was proposed by Neil Stringfellow.

Step 1: Choose a favorite book, or simply choose one at random.

Step 2: Read — preferably aloud — the first sentence in the book’s text.

Step 3: Make music that somehow reflects the line you read in Step 2.

Deadline: Monday, July 7, 2025, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

"Interesting" times imply high future variance, but usually begin during relative stability. A calm before a storm, a moment of misleading respite - but a bit of peace, nonetheless. What peace will last, and what will come after?
