for soundcloud.com/groups/disquiet...uiet-junto/info #11: daily rhythm

Plan: The eleventh Junto project requires you to make an original field recording, and to then make something of it. This project focuses on rhythm. The field recording should be of some rhythmic mechanical sound from everyday life: a dishwasher, a car's turn signal, a hard drive, a bicycle, whatever you choose. That recording should serve as the main rhythmic element of your track. You can edit the recording, certainly, but it should remain recognizable; you should only edit it to whittle it down to a core rhythmic section. To it you can add whatever sounds you like, but the rhythm should be central and prominent in the finished track.

• recorded live, including on-the-hour chime courtesy of ProdMe 1.1 by Jim Carlson (website defunct), which, it turns out, is from freesound.org/people/suburban%...ounds/2166/ ;
