**Production Notes**
Ironic: We have a new fridge, but the ice cubes weren’t ready. So I resorted to the samples I recorded last year.
You can hear the ice cubes bit in all drum parts, the pads and also the lead in the middle part.
The rest was a self-assembled TB-303, Kontakts Una Corda, Ableton Electric and Izotope Iris.
Took 3 hours in total. (Now my cubes are probably ready.)

** Disquiet Junto Project 0210: Ice Coda**
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something of it.
Happy new year! This week’s project is as follows. It’s the same project we’ve begun each year with since the very first Junto project, back in January 2012.
Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.
Step 2: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.
Step 3: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
Background: Longtime participants in, and observers of, the Disquiet Junto series will recognize this single-sentence assignment — “Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it” — as the very first Disquiet Junto project, the same one that launched the series back on the first Thursday of January 2012. Revisiting it at the start of each year since has provided a fitting way to begin the new year. At the start of the fifth (!) year of the Disquiet Junto, it is a tradition. A weekly project series can come to overemphasize novelty, and it’s helpful to revisit old projects as much as it is to engage with new ones. Also, by its very nature, the Disquiet Junto suggests itself as a fast pace: a four-day production window, a regular if not weekly habit. It can be beneficial to step back and see things from a longer perspective.
Deadline: This project was posted in the early afternoon, California time, on Thursday, January 7, 2016, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, January 11, 2016.
Length: Length is up to you, though between one and four minutes is recommended.
