60x60 is a collection of 60 electroacoustic or acousmatic works from 60 different composers/artists, each work 60 seconds or less in duration. The 60x60 project was conceived and developed by the new music consortium, Vox Novus[1] and its founder, Robert Voisey.[2][3][4] Since the project's inception in 2003, the 60x60 project puts out a yearly call for submissions[5] for recorded media 60 seconds or less in length to present around the world. [6] [7]

The performance of 60x60 consists of the 60 works played over loudspeakers in succession without pause for 1 hour. 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. [8]

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.

A few notable composers in the 60x60 project include: Ernst Bacon, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz, Eve Beglarian, Stephen Betts, George Brunner, Robert Carl, fr:Paul Clouvel, Cindy Cox, Noah Creshevsky, Robert Dick, Emma Lou Diemer, Moritz Eggert, Karlheinz Essl, David Gamper, Robert Gluck, Daniel Goode, David Gunn, Richard Kostelanetz, Joan La Barbara, Mary Jane Leach, John Link, Guy Livingston, Annea Lockwood, Mike McFerron, Maggi Payne, Alex Shapiro, Judith Shatin, Juan Maria Solare, Laurie Spiegel, Allen Strange, Eldad Tsabary, and Robert Voisey

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

Multimedia Collaboration

Embracing its vision to reach a diverse audience 60x60 has collaborated with artists outside the acoustic medium to create multimedia performances. Some of the artists it has worked with in the past include Zlatko Ćosić [9], Jeramy Zimmerman, Gisela Gamper, Shimpei Takeda,[10] and Nick Zedd.

Radio Request Extravaganza

In the beginning of each 60x60 concert season, the project holds a Radio Request Extravaganza. This is an all request radio show where composers and their fans call in to the hosting radio station request works that have been submitted to the 60x60 project that year. Different new music radio programs and radio stations host the Extravaganza. In the past the 60x60 Radio Request Extravaganza has been hosted on the Afternoon New Music on WKCR New York, New York; Martian Gardens Radio Show on WMUA Amherst, Massachusetts; [11] Kalvos & Damian New Music Bazaar on WGDR Plainfield, Vermont;[12] Foldover, on WOBC Oberlin, Ohio; and Sculpted Word on WBAR in New York, New York. [13]

Alternate Mixes

The project uses grassroots ideology to grow and promote its mission to expose electroacoustic music. When the project receives more than 60 compositions of a particular theme or from a particular region, the project creates a themed mix to be represent that subsection of its submissions. [14] The project has created many different mixes besides its main "International Mix" which is a representative selection of the entire submissions made to the project for that year. Alternate Mixes created by the 60x60 project include: the Pacific Rim Mix, [15] [16] [17] Midwest Minutes Mix, [18] [19] [20] New York Minutes Mix, [21] UK Mix, [22] and the Munich Mix. [23]
