The Monthly Project series allows participants to follow a single compositional prompt as a shared class project. For this month's project we are thrilled to have guitarist and composer Joseph Allred. Buy Joseph's work here. The compositional prompt reads as follows: The definition of the act of field recording is to capture sound outside of the recording studio. The field can be your kitchen, your backyard, a city street, truly anywhere beyond the controlled and acoustically treated recording environment. The act of field recording is simple but is by no means passive, even less so if we involve the act of musical performance within the context of the field. It can be a voice memo of your friend playing the guitar at a campfire, it can be an overnight drop rig capturing the activity of nocturnal insects, it can be a shitty tape recording of your neighborhood bird songs captured on a Walkman. What’s crucial is to record with intention and illustrate the field for your listener. For this month’s project we are to perform with this site specific intentionality in mind. You are to pick a space in the field that speaks to you as a performer, one that you can perform in duo with perhaps, and you are to record a 3-5 minute improvisation within this space using an acoustic recording device, meaning something that uses a microphone that captures vibration in the air and not a DI input. What does it mean to perform in duo with your field? Does it mean toying with the natural reverberation of the space? Does it mean to imitate the sounds around you in a call and response fashion? Think about this when you decide where to record in the field. Your choice of instrument can be entirely acoustic or electronic so as long as you have a means of amplifying any electronic signal with some sort of mobile speaker in the field. We need to be able to hear your choice of instrument as well as the space it inhabits at all times.     TRACKLIST BELOW: Maya - Living Room w/ looper Breathplay - Attention Debt Terence - Rooftop Cloister 1 Karim - Roof Square 3

The Monthly Project series allows participants to follow a single compositional prompt as a shared class project. For this month's project we are thrilled to have guitarist, composer, improviser, and educator Wendy Eisenberg. Buy Wendy's new self-titled LP from Joyful Noise Records here. The compositional prompt reads as follows: We are continuing with our back-to-basics compositional prompts as a response to DAW bloat and fatigue.  Compositional intent cannot be rooted solely in the tech, even in electronic music. The art requires deliberate choices at the fundamental level. For a simple song structure, these fundamentals must include an equal emphasis arrangement of both melody and harmony. For this month’s project you are to tap in to this bread and butter combo and keep it simple. Write a song in which you deliberately maintain a relationship between both melody and harmony. This should be expressed through a single monophonic instrument for melody and a single polyphonic instrument for melody. There are no genre or instrument type constraints for this prompt so as long as it includes this fundamental pair. We are thrilled to have composer, guitarist, and educator Wendy Eisenberg as our guest facilitator for this project, fresh from their self-titled release of truly deliberate songs that pull no punches and still maintain this fundamental and simple pairing of bread and butter at its core.   TRACKLIST BELOW: Breathplay - Nine of Swords Maya - Monster Mischief 003 Sergej - Ne Uzoholi Se, Mrak Terence - Alter Altar Jesse - Walk Away
