60 X 60 - Jason oS - 14th July 2007
Over last weekend, I was in Leeds for a computer music conference, where there was quite a bit of discussion about new technologies, methods of study, programming choices, compositional techniques etc, as well as some really loud surround sound concerts...
Within the performances, there was a particular piece composed of 60 compositions, each 60 seconds long, written by 60 different composers from across the globe. During the piece I was thinking, us subverts write sonically interesting deep material, and could certainly put something like this together, composed of things we normally do, dont ever think of doing, or whatever (beats, no beats)- you could basically use this as a musical exercise in which to work under no constrictions, barring the 60 second time limit - with/without aliases etc.
If enough people are interested, then we can go ahead, convene, and piece it together into a cohesive work.
Basically to get the process started, the tentative date for submissions will be September 1st . Again, this can be anything you'd like...the only restrictions are that the piece be ≤ 60 seconds, and that it is interesting to you.
As indirectly mentioned above, I certainly don't claim to have come up with the concept, or the name of this conglomerate, so please feel free to offer any ideas to improve upon the idea.
Thoughts, suggestions, grievances?

used to take part in stuff like this.
do it!
everyones tunes gotta blend, but anything goes?
60 X 60 - Jason oS - 14th July 2007
nope - no blending at all actually. its just a question of proper ordering once everyone's piece is made.
and anything goes
so you're in bob?

60 X 60 - djfada - 16th July 2007
i mighnt just have a loop that says 'number 9' over and over again for 60 secs
60 X 60 - Jason oS - 16th July 2007
i heard one that just said "i have just one thing to say to you, and that is i have one thing to say to you, and that is i have one thing to say to you, and that is ..."
over and over again for 60 secs, with different timing of the phrases, so that different meanings came out of it each time.
and it worked.
