continuously in a one-hour concert. <BR><BR>60x60 is a one-hour-long show made
by sequencing 60 pre-recorded pieces by 60 different composers, each piece a
minute in length or shorter. Highlighting the work of a great many composers,
60x60 testifies to the vibrancy of contemporary composition by present a diverse

face=Calibri>Since 2008, the Canadian 60x60 mix has been presented in over 20
concerts and dance shows in a variety of formats in Canada and abroad. In 2010
it opened the 60x60 Order of Magnitude show at Concordia’s FOFA gallery in
Montreal, a ten-hour-long show with multichannel audio, dance, and video that

its inception in 2003, the 60x60 project has received thousands of submissions
from over 30 countries, produced radio shows, created multimedia and
multidisciplinary events, and released several albums. <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>The 60x60 project’s definition of
a fixed-media work is as follows: any work created as a sonic art or musical
composition 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, MAX MSP, MIDI, C Sound, ProTools,
etc.) <BR><BR>All works submitted should be with the understanding that it is
their recording that is of prime importance and is what will be used to
determine its selection (please do not submit scores). <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR><B>DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JANUARY
