Another year has started and another chapter of 60x60 has begun.

I want everyone to know, in 2008 besides the International Mix, 60x60 is
looking to continue its Midwest Mix and its Pacific Rim Mix.  All composers
from those areas should be encouraged to submit works.  In addition to those
mixes the project is looking to "revive" the New York Minutes Mix and the UK
MIX, my hope is that we will receive enough works to create those mixes as
well.  Lastly, we are also endeavoring to create a new Canadian Mix for
composers and sound artists from Canada.  It should be a wild a crazy year,
but we already have the venues if we can get the submissions.  Spread the
word!  Meanwhile. here is the call.

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:

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:
