Hello, and thank you for your interest. My name is Robert Voisey; I am a composer, producer, and Founder of Vox Novus as well as serving as Vice-President of Programs for the Living Music Foundation. My aim is to create a new landscape for composers to express themselves in freely. Composition has grown into a field where the roads to success and fulfillment are obscured with misdirection and blocked by many obstacles.

As composers, I believe we all share a need to express ourselves in the form of music, in whatever aesthetic, style or medium that we choose. This expression originates from the composer and is translated through music to the recipient--the audience. Whether our audience be wide and diverse, few and intimate, or maybe just even one, we all feel the need to put a story, feeling, or idea into the realm of music to touch, move, or speak what we need to express.

Living in a capitalistic economic and sociological environment, the would be composer needs to do much more than create music solely for his or her own sake.

Feeling the frustration of having to be my own agent, promoter, marketer, concertmaster, publisher, web designer, and proofreader, I decided to create a company that would encompass these things, in order to reap the benefits of my hard efforts. This company is Vox Novus. Creating the company, I saw that my friends and close colleagues were doing the same work towards their own careers, and that we could benefit each other by combining our efforts.

I soon realized the huge demand for a new "home" for contemporary composers--a place where composers can become self-reliant musical entities, and survive in this new world of composition.

This is what I hope Vox Novus to be: a resource of information for the contemporary composer and musician, where they can learn to self-publish or be published, record themselves or be recorded, concretize or be concretized. A place where they can find a vast body of other composers, with varying aesthetics and styles to compare themselves against, or where they can find a similar aesthetic to relate and grow an awareness of their own voice and expression.
