**Production Notes**
At exactly 12:00 a.m. on January 14th, 2016, I pressed „Record“ on two field recorders. One was positioned outside my flat, balancing on the window sill; the second one was placed inside near my desk.
First, you hear some of the „outside“ world, then you hear me typing these lines inside.
My timer ringed, I turned the recorders off, imported the samples, added two tweaked effects (Reaktor Molecular).
And that‘s that.

**Disquiet Junto Project 0211: Midnight Inside Out**
The Assignment: Shift between the midnight sounds both within and beyond a physical structure, preferably your home.
This project is the sixth in an ongoing occasional series that focuses on late-night ambience. Collectively these nocturnal endeavors are being called “One Minute Past Midnight.” No one’s work will be repurposed without their permission, and it’s appreciated if you post your track with a Creative Commons license that allows for non-commercial reuse, reworking, and sharing.
The steps for this project are as follows:
Step 1: You’ll be making a one-minute track of ambient, everyday sound. The best option is to make actual real-world field recordings, but certainly simulations (i.e., foley) and free resources (such as freesound.org and previous Junto projects) are fine. Just keep this in mind.
Step 2: Please develop two tracks of what the world sounds like at midnight. One track should be the sound inside a physical structure, preferably your home. The other track should be the world outside that same structure.
Step 3: Produce a track that moves back and forth between those two different sonic experiences at midnight. The transitions can be as you see fit. They can be realistic (e.g., opening and closing a door or window), and they can be fantastic (e.g., imagining being able to move freely through a wall).
Step 4: Upload your completed track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.
Step 5: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
Deadline: This project was posted at noon, California time, on Thursday, January 14, 2016, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, January 18, 2016.
Length: The track should be one minute long, exactly.
