> 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. 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, and composition length (60 seconds or
> less.)
> Biographies and program notes may be no longer than 100 words in
> length.
> Submissions must be uploaded by December 31st, 2009. Selected works
> will be
> announced on February 15th, 2010.
