Disquiet Junto Project 0267: The Metronomic Society
I created a click track – the electronic equivalent of a metronome – in Audacity. Everything here is made from that, using reverb and soundscaping plugins.

Disquiet Junto Project 0267: The Metronomic Society
Create a theme song for a fictional organization.
Step 1: There’s a fascinating book from 1988 titled The Metronomic Society. Written by the Michael Young, it is an academic study of the rhythms of human existence, with an emphasis on organization and societal systems. It’s not necessary to read it. It’s just helpful to know where we’re borrowing the term from.
Step 2: Imagine there is an actual group called the Metronomic Society. You might also imagine what they’re up to. Maybe it’s a Man Ray fan club, or a bunch of disgruntled piano tuners, or maybe they explore arcane theories about quantum mechanics. Who knows?
Step 3: Now compose and record a short piece of music — a sound cue, a theme, a sound logo, a jingle — for the Metronomic Society.
