Call for Works for the first Canadian 60x60 Project (2008)
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.
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.
Eligibility:
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).
Eligible works:
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.
