<div align="center"><font size="+1"><b>Call for Works for the first
Canadian 60x60 Project (2008)</b></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Vox Novus, in collaboration with the Canadian Electroacoustic
Community (CEC), is inviting composers to submit recorded works 60
seconds or less in duration to be included in the first Canadian
version of the annual 60x60 project. 60 compositions will be
selected to be played continuously in a one-hour concert. The
Canadian 60x60 concert season will begin with a debut in Montréal
and continue throughout Canada in venues to be announced.
Concerts may also include a visual component (a clock, video clips,
spectrographs, dance, etc.). The works will also be broadcasted
on radio stations and featured on a Sonus.ca dedicated gallery. Please
submit your recorded work(s) and submission form(s) before 31 March
(postmarked). You may submit your works online or on a CDR; see
submission guidelines below. Your work may be selected for both
the Canadian and the International 60x60 projects.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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. Selected works that are shorter than 60 seconds
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.</div>
<div><br>
Eligibility:<br>
The call is open to composers of all ages and career stages who live
in Canada, and to Canadian composers living in Canada or abroad.
All other composers may participate in the international 60x60 project
(see below).<br>
<br>
Eligible works:</div>
<div>Any sound or music captured on recorded media, which does not
require live performers for its presentation in concert. The
piece may be of any style and may comprise electronic sounds, field
recordings, recordings of voice or musical instruments, or other sound
sources. Recordings of acoustic compositions SHOULD NOT be
accompanied by musical scores. Works submitted should be created
specifically for this project and must not have been previously
performed or broadcasted.</div>
