_________________________________

60×60 contains 60 works from 60 different composers. Each composition is 60
seconds (or less) in duration sequenced together to create a one hour
performance. Highlighting the work of a great many composers, 60×60
testifies to the vibrancy of contemporary composition by presenting the
diverse array of styles, aesthetics and techniques being used today.

Debuting in New York City November 2003, 60×60 started as an acousmatic
“tape” concert with its 60 short electronic works synchronized with an
analog clock to mark the passage of each minute. since then 60×60 has
received thousands of audio submissions from more than 50 countries around
the world, produced radio shows, collaborated with multimedia (including
dance, video, sculpture, and photography) and released several audio albums
on CD.

360 degrees of 60×60 was created for the 2010 ICMC RED Edition
(International Computer Music Conference) 360 one minute pieces were
selected to create 6 one hour mixes. The 6 different mixes are all named a
different shade of red to honor the RED edition of ICMC: Burgundy mix,
Crimson mix, Magenta mix, Sanguine mix, Scarlet mix, and Vermilion mix.

360 composers were selected from over 40 different countries. Composers
ranged from different aesthetics, styles, ethnicity, culture, age, gender
and career stage. 60×60 is specifically designed to represent a broad
cross-section of acousmatic music being created throughout the world today.

In the spirit of worldwide collaboration and exposure in addition to
installation performance of the 360 degrees of 60×60 at the International
Computer Music Conference, “remote” concerts of the 6 mixes will take place
in more than 100 venues throughout the world over the next year. “360
degrees of 60×60, 60 works, 60 seconds long; to and from all around the
world.”

At the conference all 6 mixes will be performed as a 6 hour installation
each day of the conference.

June 1st and June 2nd from 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM
360 degrees of 60×60 installation will take place at the

ConnecTra Abilities Expo

Expo Celebrates the Art of the Possible – ConnecTra’s multi-agency resource fair connected hundreds of individuals with disabillities and Metro Vancouver’s most useful service providers … “I really liked the focus on abilities at the Expo. There were people from all over who were working, and involved in the arts, and really participating and doing amazing things in the community”, said Paul Gauthier, Network Coordinator for the BC Personal Supports Network … The event was also noteworthy for being the launch of musician sylvi macCormac’s ambitious multimedia project, Th Rose & Th Railway. This combines the written word, with music and environmental recordings to delve back into the life and times of Irish poet WB Yeats. May 2010 ConnecTra Newsletter

Aural Shadows: o th Rose & th Railway

like ships that should never pass
lines that would never cross
cousins that could never kiss
from opposite sides of the tracks
with theremin on the radio
you are beautiful and gone
with breezes off the water
and the train slowing down
i was going to bring you a book of yeats
from the bookstore down the street
no realizing our hearts might never meet

we are our mothers daughters
and our fathers child
down by the water side
forever wild
like ships that should never pass
lines that would never cross
cousins that could never kiss
from opposite sides of the tracks
then why is our baby girl
more than ten years old
forever greater
than any gold

and do you still read that book of yeats
from the tower down the street
the one i gave you long ago
so our hearts might meet
were we just some aural shadows
through the sky
as upwords
shooting stars go by

like ships that should never pass
lines that would never cross
cousins that could never kiss
from opposite sides of the tracks
with dripsody on the radio
we are here and then gone
with breezes off the water
and the train slowing down

Theremin – electronic musical instrument which responds to movements of hands, inventor Leon Termen (1920’s Russia)

Dripsody – composition with sounds of water drops by Hugh LeCaine, electronic synthesis pioneer (1955 Canada)

Aural Shadows: of th Rose & th Railway (5:30)
appears on Raven Shadows CD (2006)

60X60 DANCE CANADA is a project containing 60 solo choreographies to 60 electroacoustic pieces by 60 Canadian composers, each piece 60 seconds or less in duration. The pieces are sequenced together without pause to form an exactly one hour long performance. The sound will be projected in multichannel through 8 loudspeakers, and the dance and music will be accompanied by live video projection of an analog clock, spectrographic images, and dance footage. This event is the third (and biggest) of the Canadian 60×60 Dance, organized by Eldad Tsabary, Violaine Morinville, Tim Sutton, and Rob Voisey. Through this inter-artistic hour-long collaborative creation, 60×60 seeks to support and highlight the contemporary art community. This show is presented in collaboration with the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC).

STILL TUNED TO FOLK

Last night, Sylvi MacCormac oversaw the CD release of her Coastal Chants at Iron Works. This might be her most accomplished and focused collection, with its pronounced sense of atmosphere and MacCormac’s dusky folk voice. She’s been immersed in spoken word, sound collages and other projects, but she first was recognized as a folk-influenced singer and is impressive in that role.
