    Closest I can say to how it feels right now is I used to live near a horrible band that made horrible music loudly day and night, and then one day they moved out and it was quiet, a quiet I came to recognize was not momentary but the new normal. That's the quiet I feel right now.

    To be clear, you didn't need to produce a solo track in order to produce a duet. You can join in the next project, no problem. Same for the following week, when the duets become trios. (We may even do a fourth project, either about remixes or mashups.)

    Disquiet Junto music community update, and then I gotta make dinner. We had a great showing this week, around 70 musicians from around the world producing solo tracks. The point of these solos is that this coming Thursday, January 21, other musicians will make duets out of them.

    The wind crazy at 4:30am, the house rattled like a kid's toy. I grabbed earbuds and listened to the audiobook of a spy novel, my eyes too tired to focus on my Kindle. I slowed its speed to that of a sleep story: "left ... crumbled ... tarmac .. in .. its ...wake." Oddly soothing.

    Ooh, and this means the 500th project somehow manages to end on August 2nd, one day before my birthday.
