The Disquiet Junto assignment is: Play with and against a steady beat.
Step 1: Locate a metronome and set it to play at a speed of your choice. Recommended: 70 bpm.
Step 2: Practice playing with, and against, and entirely apart from the beat.
Step 3: Record a piece of music in which you start off playing with the beat, and then veer away from it, and then are drawn back to it, and then veer away, around and again. End the piece while playing apart from the beat, not in sync with it.
My metronome was Ableton Live and the 70bpm recommendation stirred a couple of tracks as I let the Junto directions simmer since reading them on Thursday evening.
After a day or so an idea arose for a beat that veered away, so I started scaffolding a structure of a track.
Sunday morning arrives and I start recording a drum track, using the second take, then first takes of bass and ukulele.
Along the way I thought of veering on the bass too, more than the ukulele anyway.
