Subject: [General Enquiry] 60x60 Call for 60 second audio works

Rob Voisey sent a message using the contact form at
http://www.eml.org.sg/contact.

Below is the call for works for the next 60x60. Entry is free. Please
note the deadline is earlier this year (March 31st.) If you could
publicize, disseminate, and promote this call as far and wide as you can
that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!


The Following is the Call for Works for the 60x60 project in 2008

Continuing to promote contemporary composer and their works, Vox Novus is
inviting composers to submit recorded works 60 seconds or less in length
to included in its sixth annual 60x60 project. 60 compositions will be
selected to be played continuously in a one-hour concert. The 60x60
concert season will begin with a debut in New York City and continue
throughout the world in venues to be announced. Please submit recording(s)
of work and submission form post marked before March 31st, 2008 to:

60x60
c/o Robert Voisey
Radio City Station
P.O. Box 1607
New York, New York
10101 USA

More information can be found at:
http://www.voxnovus.com/60x60/Call.htm
http://www.voxnovus.com/60x60.htm

During the concert each of the 60 pieces selected will begin precisely at
the beginning of the minute, this will mark the end of one piece and the
beginning of another. There will be no pause between the pieces. Works may
be less than 60 seconds in length, but may not exceed 60 seconds. Works
selected that are less than 60 seconds long will be “padded” with
silence either before, after, or surrounding the composition. Please note
that the total duration of the work including silence may NOT exceed sixty
seconds.

The 60x60 project’s definition of a record work is as follows: any work
created as a musical composition which is captured on recorded media,
which does not require live performers for its production in broadcast at
concert halls, radio, multi-media, etc. Its creation can include but not
limited to acoustic instruments, voice, environmental sources, and
computer (Sampling, MIDI, C Sound, ProTools, etc.)

Acoustic compositions should be submitted with the understanding that it
is their recording that is of prime importance and is what will be used to
determine its selection. Scores of works are strongly discouraged and will
not be used in the selection process.

60x60 is a project of “signature works” and short works created
specifically for the 60x60 project. Excerpts of larger works are strongly
discouraged. Works generated from procedures (i.e. mathematical matrices,
organizational systems, or computer programs,) remixed works, or themes
and motives recomposed from other of the composer's own work are
acceptable.

The call is open to composers of any nationality, age, or career stage.
Works submitted must not have been previously performed or broadcasted.
Compact Discs that include the audio submission must be labeled with the
composer's name and the title of the work. The submission form must be
sent at the same time with the submitted work. Submission form must
contain the composer’s name, address, email, phone number, composition
title, composition length, and track position on the compact disc.
Biographies and program notes may be included on a separate sheet, but
must be typed and each may be no longer than 100 words in length.

Multiple works may be submitted. Each work must be noted on the submission
form(s) and clearly indicated on the CD. Do Not send originals! No works
will be returned, and may be performed in subsequent performances after
the debut concert. All submissions must be postmarked by March 31, 2008.
Selected works will be announced on August 1st, 2008. Submission of the
work(s) on compact disc must be accompanied by the submission form and
sent to:

60x60

Radio City Station
