The Disquiet assignment is to "Speed up a machine (or process) until it falters":
Step 1: Think of a machine (or process) you use frequently.
Step 2: Push that machine (or process) by speeding it up, until it begins to break down.
Step 3: Record something making use of the sounds resulting from Step 2.
I've recorded my second pedal board, which I put together after noticing I'd left a bunch of Chase Bliss pedals off my first pedal board.
