60x60

60x60 is a collection of 60 electroacoustic or acousmatic works from 60 different composers/artists, each work 60 seconds or less in duration. 60x60 project showcases sixty new works, each sixty seconds or less, by sixty composers in a continuous sixty minute concert, for a one-hour cross-section of contemporary music. The 60x60 project was conceived and developed by the new music consortium, Vox Novus^[1] and its founder, Robert Voisey.^[2][3][4][5] Since the project's inception in 2003, the 60x60 project puts out a yearly call for submissions^[6] for recorded media 60 seconds or less in length (also known as signature works.)^[7][8][9]

There is a history of electroacoustic "shorts." In 1982, Elliott Sharp created an album of shorts called "State of the Union" to accompany an issue of Zone Magazine.^[10] In the mid-1980s when the Association pour la création et recherches en électroacoustique de Québec (Acreq) launched an annual competition for "Electroclips", most pieces being between one and three minutes in duration. In the late 1980s, Jean-François Denis and Claude Schryer of Montreal, commissioned 25 three-minute pieces for the "25 instantanés électroacoustiques", Électro Clips, published by empreinted DIGITALes in 1990, IMED 9004. In 1998, Larry Polansky created "The Frog Peak Collaborations Project" a double album of shorts based on an audio sound file from Chris Mann.^[10]

Performance, Participants and Purpose

The performance of 60x60 consists of the 60 works played over loudspeakers in succession without pause for 1 hour.^[11] It is played in conjunction with a synchronized analog clock. Works less than 60 seconds are artistically placed within a minute timeframe; the rest of the minute is filled with silence until the next minute begins.^[12]

60x60’s primary focus is to create an artistic representation of the electronic music being created in society today and to present that music to a large audience, "to represent diverse composers from all walks of life"^[13] Each 60x60 performance mix contains a wide variety of musical styles and aesthetics. "Founder Robert Voisey said the 60-centric format – inspired by other intermission-free performances in New York – is designed to retain audiences' attention. And through "60x60," he hopes to expose newcomers to electronic music."^[14]

More than 1000 composers have been included in the project. A few notable composers in the 60x60 project include: Liana Alexandra, Ernst Bacon, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz, Eve Beglarian, Stephen Betts, Colin Black, James Brody, George Brunner, Warren Burt, Monique Buzzarté, Christian Calon, David Campbell, Robert Carl, Gustav Ciamaga, fr:Paul Clouvel, Noah Creshevsky, Francis Dhomont, Robert Dick, Emma Lou Diemer, Moritz Eggert, Arne Eigenfeldt, Karlheinz Essl, David Gamper, J.

60x60 is a project in which promotes both established and emerging composers and artists alike. 60x60 is a platform for the contemporary composer to promote his or her career and expose their style and aesthetic to audiences around the world. Some of the emerging composers include: John Akins,^[15] Christopher Ariza,^[16] Jason Bolte^[17][18][19] Mikel Butler,^[20] Russel Cannon,^[21] Maurilio Cacciatore,^[22] Dan Sedgwick, Marji Gere, Nicholas Chase^[23] Brad Decker, Kevin Lewis^[24] Noah Meites,^[25] Mason Leiberman,^[26] Michael Pounds,^[27] Garry Wickliffe,^[21] Greg Yasinitsky^[28][29] Bruce Hamilton^[30][31][32] Aaron Krister Johnson, Mark Eden, Robert Fleisher,^[33] Tova Kardonne^[34] Mason Leiberman.^[26] Molly Crain, Joey Perkins and Nadia Smith^[35]

A complete list of composers who participated in the 60x60 project can be found on the 60x60 website

The 60x60 project is more than just a single performance. It is a venue where a large community of composers and sound artists come together to present their music. Each year after the call for works a Radio Request Extravaganza is held. This is a radio show where any work submitted to the project may be requested for airplay. Afterwards, a selection panels finds 60 works for the 60x60 International mix for that year; when 60 composers of a particular region or style are found an alternate mix is created to represent them. When this happens the project presents the alternate mix as well as the International mix in its concert season. After the project has presented the audio mixes,usually presented with an analog clock, 60x60 collaborates with an artist in a different media. A second performance season is held promoting the multimedia collaboration. In conjunction to the performances of the project a CD is made each year to represent the submissions sent to the project.

60x60 has been presented in various types of venues throughout the world from concert halls to classrooms; from contemporary museums to art galleries; from projections on building walls to installations in storefront windows; from large public atriums to bars and nightclubs. 60x60 uses "guerrilla" production tactics to bring it to the broadest audience possible. Some notable venues include: the World Financial Center Winter Garden Atrium,^[36][37][38] Stratford Circus,^[39] The Sheldon^[40] the Essl Museum,^[41] the Kemper Museum,^[42] the Weisman Art Museum,^[43] storefront window at chashama,^[44] and Galapagos Art Space.^[45] 2010 sees the European debut of 60x60 Dance in London at Stratford Circus.

60x60 Dance

60x60 Dance is a collaboration pairing the 60 audio works with 60 different dances.^[61] Exactly like the audio performances, the 60 dances are performed continuously back to back for an hour synchronized with an analog clock. While the music of 60x60 Dance can be from any of the 60x60 mixes, the dancers and choreographers are pooled from the local area where the performance is being held. This creates a "grassroots" touring show which is community based utilizing the dancers from the immediate region. 60x60 Dance has had performances at churches, performance art spaces, art galleries, dance clubs, theaters, The Sheldon, and the World Financial Center Winter Garden Atrium^[62] where it was described by the New York Times as a "masterpiece of organization"^[63]

Macro vs Micro

Micro

60x60 is a collection of miniatures or "signature" works from 60 different composers/sound artists. Each work is 60 seconds (or less) in length and are sequenced in order to fit neatly within each minute of the hour; each new minute is a different piece from a different artist. 60x60 creates a unique challenge for the composer/sound artist to express themselves in the concise time frame of one minute. Besides that one restriction, artists are free and specifically encouraged to express themselves in any way that they wish.

Macro

60x60 is much more than a collection of short works played one after another. The entire hour of 60 on-minute works is specifically curated or composed as a one hour long "macro-composition" containing the 60 works. All 60x60 mixes are put together by artists to create an artistic hour for audiences to enjoy. As the creator and leader of 60x60, Robert Voisey has created and "macro-composed" the most mixes and is responsible for the "main" annual 60x60 International mix since 2003. He has put together several other 60x60 mixes including: Pacific Rim mixes, Midwest mixes, New York Minutes Mix, Munich Mix, Evolution Mixes, the UK Mix, the Burgundy Mix, the Magenta Mix, the Sanguine Mix and the Scarlet Mix.

Several other composers have put together different mixes. Eldad Tsabary has been responsible for putting together the Canadian Mixes as well as the Vermillion mix and the Order of Magnitude Mix. Aaron Kirster Johnson was responsible for the UnTwelve Mix and the Crimson Mix. Sabina Pena Young was responsible for putting together the Athena mix.
