Disquiet Junto Project 0299: 10bpm Waltz
I created a 10 bpm ¾ rhythm track (I think) using an online metronome.
Then I did stuff to it. After that, all is a blur, including how the phantom tap dancer got in and ruined the timing.
Be thankful, this is the short version.

Make super slow music in 3/4 time.
Step 1: This project is intended as a way to contribute to the 10 BPM Dance Club announced at tenbpm.tumblr.com and twitter.com/onetakerecords. Tracks submitted to One Take Records will be included at an inaugural event in Copenhagen at the end of this month, September 2017.
Step 2: Consider what 10 beats per minute means, what the pace of 10 beats per minute feels like. Think about the instance of the down beat. Think about how 10 bpm differs from, say, 20 bpm, or from 40 bpm.
Step 3: Think about how 3/4 time differs from 4/4 time, and for that matter from 6/8 time. Think about what 3/4 time means when slowed down extremely, all the way down to 10 bpm.
Step 4: Having reflected on the concepts described in Steps 2 and 3, proceed to compose and record a piece of music that is 10 bpm and in 3/4 time.
Step 5: Share your track with the Copenhagen event by sending it to onetakerecordshq@gmail.com, per the instructions at tenbpm.tumblr.com.
