“I believe in dance and performance that comes to the skin of the viewer and builds itself around them. This does not mean that the performance has to be participatory, but that it touches shared experiences of people. It should titillate memories of the body and mind. Choreography should touch people who come and watch it. A show should every time be a full body experience, not only something to look at.”

“A Minute of SoniKMundus” is a kind of musical synthesis of a larger piece that the author composed in 2010, entitled SoniKMundus. In SoniKMundus the composer attempts to combine construction logic with high expressiveness. The alternation of two predominant pitches provides a frame for thousands of timbre variations, highly contrasted dynamics and different reverberation levels. “A Minute of SoniKMundus” tries to capture some of the sound landscapes and musical processes of its ‘mother’ work.

" If The Water Has Memory” takes its support from exact quotations from four folk songs about rivers, from different parts of the world: Macedonia, Turkey, America and China. The piece consists of the melodies of these selected folk songs. For ages, songs for/about/with rivers have been sung; I imagined that “the water” that runs through all rivers and circulates over the planet had memory and remembered all these songs sung for them by the people. Those songs heard in the vocal track, that are “remembered” in parts, all together create a “river of remembered songs”. Composer, voice: ESIN GÜNDÜZ © 2009 daytime inspiration.
19) Song For A Flaming Contortionist
Choreography: Jasmin Perrow
Performed by: Jasmin Perrow
Compsoed by: Julia Norton
Choreographer and performer Jasmin Perrow is a recent graduate of Dartington College of Arts, her unique style is a fusion of Cabaret and Butoh dance. Drawing on her experiences of performing both art forms she creates highly visual, dark yet playful choreography. Her intention is to bring something new to the world of contemporary performance whilst not distancing herself from the average audience member. Her first piece Uzume showed at Brighton Fringe London, Old Police Station and Dartington Festival. Jasmin is looking forward to the challenge of working with an unknown collaborator for 60x60 Dance - expect stunning costume and twisted dance with a cheeky smile!
Originally from the U.K., Julia currently resides in the San Francisco Bay area, where she teaches voice and composes vocal music for live theatre and solo voices. She draws her inspiration from the emotional heart of a subject and uses extended vocal technique to seek out the edges of discomfort, irreverence and harmony. In using her voice as a compositional instrument she has finally found the vocal freedom she always craved. Previous 60X60 pieces are ‘WBQ’ (2004), ‘Space-time’ (2006) and 'Missing My Mother's Garden' (2008). In addition to making unusual electronic music she also performs in a jazz duo and has an award winning Celtic style CD ‘Lullaby Island’.

20) You Wanna Go
Choreography: Lucia Tong
Performed by: Lucia Tong
Composed by: Reconsiderate
Lucia Tong is a freelance dance artist and choreographer based in London. Studying Chinese Dance from a young age and a former member of the Hong Kong National Rhythmic Gymnastics Team, Lucia was introduced to contemporary dance while earning her B.Sc. in Environmental Science at the University of California, Berkeley. Lucia has since worked in Asia, North America and Europe with companies including Troika Ranch, Protein Dance, Kieran Sheehan Dance Theatre, Upswing Aerial,Joe Goode Performance Group and Greensco Dance amongst others. Lucia is interested in exploring multi-disciplinary work that explores the relationship between physical, emotional and intellectual landscapes.
Reconsiderate has been in love with music since time immemorable. He started off in his grade school band as a young'n, and has since moved on to create his own music via his computer, vocals and even the occasional live instruments. At the moment, Reconsiderate’s work exists exclusively in the medium of recorded audio, and likely will continue that way for the forseeable future. He supports (and is honored to participate in) Vox Novus’s annual 60 x 60 series as it is an avenue for true art, the likes of which are to be found nowhere else.
Seemingly uncertain and perhaps a bit clumsy, "You Wanna Go" stumbles about like a drunken oaf in constant need of regaining his balance. But beware! Beneath the façade lie a firm form and strong structure, supporting the ready mind you may have underestimated.

One of the strangest, most interesting, and most useful things that computers do for us as composers is that they allow us to blend sounds from completely disparate worlds. Indigenous instruments, sometimes sampled from performers in remote and undeveloped cultures, can be mixed with western instruments, sounds from popular culture, industrial noise, and synthetic sounds. This inevitably creates sonic spaces that are culturally and geographically ambiguous or even contradictory. While this ambiguity has been exploited extensively within the context of film and game scoring, the cultural contrasts are often more exposed in purely sonic works ' leading the listener to wonder "Where Am I This Time?".

Six Wings North, an impressionistic sound-scape hinting of wings, atmospheric marvels, beautiful cool fire, ritual cleansing and inter-dimensional transformation. Cleansing is frightful as birth, foreign as death, unscripted and unsteady. Isaiah finds that all is well on the other side of it. (The composer performing live with samples.)

“outside for a minute” starts with a recording of traffic and birds. These sounds were recorded outside my apartment at mid-day. I then use heavy noise filtering, time expansion, editing and granular synthesis to reveal the layers of sound that create the background noise I often ignore.

Kutiah Ice is a piece about pressure and it's beautiful effects. Kutiah is a glacier in Pakistan that grew faster than any other in the world. This piece is rich in overtones and layers of electronics screaming as if they have barely enough space to coexist together. In the end the pressure of the ice is so great the glacier must expand and push out all possible air bubbles. A brilliant hue of blue is created.

Night market is a place with peddlers which sell various foods or host different games. People in night markets create an interesting unique soundscape.

The music of “Buddhist Spouting Sadness on the Train” profiles the American baritone Thomas Buckner. Recordings of his singing contrast with instrumental interludes and spoken word fragments creating a mosaic of musical images.

Silja Grey Dance Theatre is a company started by Silja Grey, it invites other artists to collaborate with movement and to investigate the possibilities to expand the concept of dance. You could say the company allows the concept of dance to be re-discovered. Dance is not just about movement itself, it goes beyond the movement. There are no limits in ‘what is dance.’ Dance can contain elements of interdisciplinary practices, it can be a collaboration between sound, visual arts and movement. Silja's aim for the company is to be able to look beyond any borders, to stretch my mind across all the disciplines and to find something new.

"Think-Tank" is an abstract concept but sound strikes an image in the minds eye and tells a funny story although you don't know why. The thoughts that come alive and go flying out the door, collecting and recycling and they are multiplying. Bold machinery cold, unstoppable and certain not to fail, but they have no idea, and the mighty ticking clock could cause them to derail.

Diciembre Dance Group was founded in 2008 by Lucía Piquero to bring together artists from different backgrounds and disciplines with the aim of using dance as a tool for expression. Since then, DDG has grown to include co-directors Sara Accettura and Lisa Maiello, and composer Alberto García.
www.diciembredancegroup.com
Kevin Kissinger is an electronic musician and classically-trained organist from Kansas City, Mo. His interest in electronic music started in the 1960s when he worked with electronic project kits, a Hammond Organ, and whatever tape recorders he could get his hands on. In the 1970s, Kevin built a large modular synthesizer. Kevin built his first theremin in 2005 and acquired a Moog Theremin shortly thereafter. Since that time, Kevin has created many compositions for the theremin and performs throughout the USA. Kevin earned a BMus degree in Organ Performance from the University of Missouri at Kansas City Conservatory of Music.
"Molasses" is a multi-track theremin work that creates the sound of a theremin-ensemble. The inventor of the theremin, Leon Theremin, envisioned complete theremin orchestras. However, attempts at large theremin ensembles didn't work out too well -- the instruments' radio-frequency oscillators interfered with each other and, lacking keyboards, fretboards, or any tactile references, the thereminists had difficulty to hear themselves and play in tune. "Mollasses" utilizes multiple tracks -- fifteen of them -- to create a theremin ensemble sound that Theremin himself could only imagine.

After 3 years of researches and training, and a 3 months intensive training trip to New York in 2009, Karou is now fully trained in Waacking (funk style from the 1970's).

http://www.youtube.com/user/VerseDanceArena#p/a/u/1/TXpAx5zVn2o
Doug Opel explores amalgamations of contemporary, rock, jazz, pop and electronica to develop a compositional language that is at once, dark and humorous, controlled and chaotic, classical and contemporary. A recipient of the 2003 Copland Award, his works have been performed by The Duquesne Contemporary Ensemble, Vision of Sound, Keys to the Future, the American Modern Ensemble and many others extensively at venues throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Chile, France, Spain, Slovenia and extensively in the United States. Commissions include works for the Definiens Project, bass-baritone Timothy Jones, pianists Nicola Melville and Robert Satterlee, the Fort Wayne Philharmonic & MATA. Broadcasts include the CBC, WMBC, WFMT and WCNY & WKCR and WRTI.
"The Unbearable Being of Likeness" is an exploration of a pet peeve of mine: the evolution and thriving art of text speak and the slaughter of conventional language in general. The use of an intentionally distorted and overly-repetitive orchestral lick creates a sort of shell-shocking backdrop for fragments of texting translations, coupled with reactions that are all too genuine.

INTRINSIC DANCE COMPANY
Choreography: Intrinsic Dance Company
Performed by: Joycelyn Chung, Patrice Cotter, Zy Estrella & Vineta Mitchell
Composed by: Rob Voisey
Intrinsic Dance Company formed in August 2008. The founder members came together to explore the amalgamation of each individual’s unique style. Since forming, Intrinsic have performed at venues such as, the Royal Festival Hall, Stratford Circus and Jacksons Lane. Their appearances have ranged from, charity events, choreographic platforms and community festivals. Intrinsic Dance Company was originally created so as to give the four founding members the opportunity to passionately explore their own choreographic ideas. The dancers come from a varied background of dance and theatre. Most find it difficult to label this company because they attempt to seamlessly fuse various styles in their choreography. Their experience in contemporary dance is of vital importance when it comes to structuring their pieces. This device, juxtaposed with, contemporary techniques, mattox jazz and elements of hip hop dance has led to their work being described as “indicative of Hip-Hop theatre” (Michelle Harris, July 2009). All four founder members of Intrinsic have had training in Mattox Jazz and made a collective decision to make elements of this technique evident in their stylisation. They feel that it is very unfortunate that other people/dancers are unfamiliar with this genre and so this is Intrinsic’s unique way of keeping it alive. Although Intrinsic have experience in dance for camera/film, they are passionate about live theatre and performance.

Choreography:
Performed by:
Composed by: Christopher Keyes
Acclaimed by Fanfare Magazine as "Masterful¦a modernized Rachmaninoff" Christopher J. Keyes (b. 1963) began his career as a pianist, winning many competitions and later making his "double-debut" in Carnegie Hall as both soloist and guest composer with the New York Youth Symphony. He continued his musical training at the Eastman School of Music, completing his doctorate in 1992. His compositions have been performed and broadcast in over 30 countries worldwide.

CompuIntroMusic (A Short Ride on the NeXT Machine) is a gamelan-type signature piece, that does all the things I really like...in 60 seconds. It has repeated, syncopated cross-rhythms (similar to a Steve Reich piece), processed sampled sounds (similar to a Paul Lansky piece), and algorithms, using permutations of a diatonic hexachord. In all, nearly four dozen sampled sounds are processed, ranging from saw blades to actual Sundanese gamelan instruments, and mixed together in over 10000 "notes". It was realised, as the name implies, on an old NeXT computer, way back when...
48) r0r
Choreography: Liam Lawrence
Performed by:
Composed by: Terry Gambarotto
I am an articulate, self-motivated, pro-active and willing choreographer and dancer who is looking for work at a company or organisation that I can grow with. Not only will working develop my personal skills, it will also allow me to deliver the best service to your company/organisation, ultimately presenting you in the best way. I have work experience in environments demanding a fast thinking and a focused approach. I am quick and willing to become familiar with new work procedures.
I'm a composer and programmer from Toronto. My current focus is creating and performing with Max/MSP/Jitter. Under the name Rocky G I have released several albums of techno and dance oriented material. Visit my website at foolskool.com.
The impetus for “r0r” was a Max/MSP patch floating around the internet supposedly written by glitch pioneers Autechre. At the suggestion of my composer friend Matt LeBlanc, I reverse engineered the patch and rewrote it as multichannel program that could potentially be used for live performance. It turned out to be too complex for live use, but was good for generating material in the studio.

"My starting point was naïvely experimenting with old guitar pedals. Pulling the power out and sampling the noise, plugging the output back into the input and listening to my pedals scream. A teenage love of all things Crackle, Zip and Bleep. Pretty quickly I found out about computers, and their boisterous potential. Studying Max/MSP and contemporary composition at Kingston University taught me new ways to experience and create new music. I became extremely interested in programming and orchestration, since then I've had works performed at New Music Festivals in Texas, New York and London and toured all over the UK and Europe. Contrast has been a running theme through my work; soft melodic guitars with harsh noisy synths and tones, loud vs. quite, cluttered vs. sparse. I like to make music that surprises me and keeps me on my toes.."
"Crunching Snow" is a piece was written when London was under a thick blanket of snow, the worst in 28 years they say. Being snowed in has its advantages, like having lots of time to work on music and perhaps this track would never have been finished without our spectacular snowfall. This piece experiments with a drum beat that sounds like it was falling asleep then waking up again, robotic in texture, but perhaps malfunctioning. It is juxtaposed with live instruments – Guitar, Xylophone, Melodica, Glockenspiel and Hand Bells.

Sean Archibald is a drum'n'bass and electronic-music composer from the UK. He uses microtones as they offer more intensity and possibility. He is a student and has released two EPs and two albums online, under the name Sevish. This piece uses glitches which interrupt the rhythm, plus vocal samples.
Looking at equal divisions of various non-octaves, Sean found a scale which closely matches some useful intervals like minor third, major third, neutral third, fifth and octave... that scale is "18 divisions of the 11/7." What's left after the discovery? Just to compose! "See Now" is the result of using this new scale. However the middle piano section uses Wendy Carlos' "Alpha" scale.

Choreography: Colleen Bartley
Performed by:
Composed by: Jacky Schreiber
Colleen has been dancing and for over 15 years in various forms and working with movement, coaching people, writing about dance, filming and collaborating with other artists. She trained at Laban on the Community Course and in the us at Swarthmore college. Since then Colleen has been based in London and is working with indepedent artists in the UK. “I have focused on listening in to what the body has to say. What unique stories does it tell? I am influenced by dance, yoga, bodywork, contact improvisation, walking, visual art, video and photography and deep ecology. I use authentic movement to tune into the body and a range of other techniques to hone into the body's natural rhythms and movements and to respond in the moment intuitively. As a choreographer I always consider the performers as collaborators in the creation of movement material. Making work that allows tells stories through the body and through relationship between dancers, space and sound-other materials are always used in the creation and sometimes realization of the work. It is vital to create material that is not just pretty movement but speaks of something through the body. Often, raw movement is more potent than exquisite virtuosity. The collaborative aspect of the work invites a level of integrity that gives audience access to deeper levels of engagement.”
Jacky Schreiber studied electroacoustic music composition with Eduardo Kusnir at Conservatorio Nacional de Musica Juan Jose Landaeta in Caracas, Venezuela. His electroacoustic works have been performed in concerts and festivals in usa, latin america and europe, some of his chamber and orchestral works have received the national composition prize, for the past 20 years he has written music for tv, theater plays and dance.

PANTON & DYNOTT
Choreography: Darren Panton & Shevelle Dynott
Performed by: Darren Panton & Shevelle Dynott
Composed by: Dry Heeves
Panton & Dynott "the BritBoyz of Ballet” was created by two Royal Ballet dancers – Darren Panton & Shevelle Dynott - whose concept was to make ballet cool enjoyable and accessible for children from all cultural backgrounds. Coming from diverse and troubled backgrounds they’ve had to overcome hardship and poverty to show that not all young black males choose a life of crime. Darren grew up in West London council estate with his five brothers, after getting into trouble with the police at young age he decided to turn his life around and make a life for his self in dance. Shevelle grew up in Brixton and was in and out of trouble and spent time sleeping rough on the streets until by chance, dance entered his life and changed it for the good. Now Darren and Shevelle have both decided to take dance back to the streets and hopefully inspire other youngsters that there are other routes in life other than crime.

60x60's guiding themes of concision and disparity inspired me to move one step further and create a work consisting of sixty one-second pieces. This required a quick succession of only the barest seeds of ideas, juxtaposing different styles, timbres, spaces, instrumentation, and dynamics; the result is frenetic, disorienting, and engaging.

Also used are Fibonacci and golden ratio principles within the composition. Various Delays are set to fractions based on the Tempo and Fibonacci sequence of numbers available to use; within the musical context. The result is what you hear. Various guitars were used – both acoustic and electric; and “treated” through the Eventide studio Delay / Echo units.
