The Disquiet Junto is an online group of musicians who respond to weekly directions from Marc Weidenbaum and share their work on Soundcloud. As I write it's had the 100th consecutive project.

I've said the Disquiet Junto is giving me an education and that is a deliberate choice of words because it's a great model for learning. Each week I explore a new creative constraint, learning through my own practise and then comparing and contrasting my experiences with my peers.

It has been a really good activity for me, both for learning and for practice. There are some months in the year where I feel less productive, you can see the pattern in my blog posts. The Junto encourages me to make music and produce audio at times when I need encouragement.

Last weekend I made a really good track from the sound of boiling water. It's the sort of thing I might try but not finish, so setting a deadline is another benefit for me. Duke Ellington is attributed with saying "I don't need time, I need a deadline."

This weekend I finished compiling and remastering 20 tracks for this album of my favourite Junto pieces. Enjoy!
