60x60: UnTwelve Mix

Microtonal Electronic Music Concert

The basic premise of Vox Novus's 60x60 project is simple: each concert presents 60 pieces of electronic music by 60 composers. Each composition is 60 seconds (or less) in duration, and the 60 works are sequenced together to create a one-hour concert. Since its debut in New York City in November 2003, 60x60 has received thousands of audio submissions from more than 50 countries around the world, produced radio shows, collaborated to create multimedia presentations (involving dance, video, sculpture, and photography) and released several audio albums on CD.

In 2010, Vox Novus has collaborated with the Chicago-based UnTwelve to create a special microtonal mix of the 60x60 project: 60 works which explore pitches outside of the standard 12-tone equal temperament. This mix features pulse-pounding music, gorgeous harmonies, dark and moody soundscapes, humorous vignettes, and ecstatic dreamworlds.
