about

im a psychotherapist and i make experimental music so ive given this some thought previously
unfortunately i came to the conclusion that music isnt appropriate: people want different things and some want quiet.
during training, waiting to see my therapist, it struck me that the bland new age music that seemed to be an attempt at alleviating anxiety wasn't right: i was there to allow myself to be open to anxiety, to work through it. a tacit message that there's something wrong with anxiety is not necessarily helpful
i would want waiting room music to communicate authenticity, presence, safety and allow for gentle receptive contemplation
and be truly ambient - inaudible if you didnt focus on it

when im wating for a client i tend to have very quiet classical music on in the background that i can barely hear.

this piece flows between three different instances of iris2. lots of delay and reverb courtesy of ddly, supermassive and ambient reverb. meant to be listened to quietly.. but it's up to you

Disquiet Junto Project 0515: Talking Cure
The Assignment: Write music for a psychotherapist’s waiting room.

Step 1. Imagine that you are about to consult a therapist. You are sitting in the waiting room of his/her/their office.

Step 2. Picture some comfortable chairs, abstract artworks on the wall, and some large plants in the corners of the room. The perfect music for this moment is playing out of a high quality, vintage-looking speaker. You are ready for your appointment.

Step 3. Create a piece of music that you imagine hearing in this situation. The duration of the piece is up to you. If you are OK with your work potentially being excerpted, please license it with a CC license that permits derivative works (i.e., any CC license that does not include ND, “no derivative works”).

Background: Selected results from this assignment will be included in the soundtrack of an experimental video series The Talking Cure, currently being produced by visual artists The Big Conversation Space. The Talking Cure will be projected in the group exhibition The Real Show at the contemporary art museum CAC Brétigny, France from January through April 2022 and broadcast on YouTube. The video series will also feature the Disquiet Junto through interviews with Marc Weidenbaum and other Disquiet Junto participants and supporters. The Junto participants whose work is included will be credited by name in the videos
