This idea of running water as music, in particular as “one of the oldest songs,” is highlighted in various ways in the chapter, which is titled “The Squirrel Wood,” and in the book as a whole. I selected this version of the book’s cover, because it’s the paperback I own: The particular idea this week originates in the following description at the start of chapter 17 in the 1986 novel Count Zero by William Gibson. This week’s project makes use of field recordings, a not uncommon source of sonic material in the Disquiet Junto series of weekly music projects. Membership to the Junto is open: just join and participate. Each Thursday evening at the Disquiet Junto group on a new compositional challenge is set before the group’s members, who then have just over four days to upload a track in response to the assignment.
