**Production Notes**

2017. What a year!

Buying a modular synth brought me to an instant writers block, so early 2017 I just dabbled around with my new toys while my brain wired to a CV-controlled workflow. Things started to pick up speed when I had my first modular sessions with Martha Plachetka (a.k.a. Panic Girl), which resulted in a fully-blown release on Modularfield Label. You can find „Lucid Grain - Rise & Fall“ here:

But let‘s get back to this piece. I only chose music I made for myself or a Modular Diary. Making a 1-minute set card for drones that can last for 1 hour is like looking at a moving scenery while the shutter of a camera gives you only a glimpse a 64th of a second every minute. You get an impression, but never the whole picture.

Some of the tracks are released, only three are on my Soundcloud page:

**Disquiet Junto Project 0313: Audio Journal 2017**

The Assignment: Create a sonic diary of the past year with a dozen five-second segments.

As has become the tradition at the end of each calendar year, this week’s project is a sound journal, a selective audio history of your past twelve months.

Step 1: You will select a different audio element to represent each of the past 12 months of 2017. These audio elements will most likely be of music that you have yourself composed and recorded, but they might also consist of phone messages, field recordings, or other source material. These items should be somehow personal in nature, suitable to the autobiographical intention of the project; they should be of your own making, and not drawn from third-party sources.

Step 2: You will then select one five-second segment from each of these dozen audio elements.

Step 3: Then you will stitch these dozen five-second segments together in chronological order to form one single one-minute track. There should be no overlap or gap between segments; they should simply proceed from one to the next.

Step 4: In the notes field accompanying the track, identify each of the audio segments.

(Level Up: Alternately, you can use more than 12 audio segments — do two a month, or one a week, or one a day. Whatever you choose, just keep them evenly distributed across the year. You might make the segments shorter, to keep the full track length to 60 seconds.)
