I added a twinkle sound from the finger piano made up of 8 notes, each dropping in pitch by one degree of the 53-TET scale, getting softer, and moving from right to left, as in a Doppler shift of a fast moving flying object.

This one takes the minute and stretches it out 3 times longer. Same notes and everything, just a change to the T0 table in Csound, and a few adjustments to the envelopes and volumes. I think I could keep this up for a while

After a long hiatus, I've been able to crank out 60 seconds of music. This one takes a chord of the overtone series 4:5:6:7:9:11 and slides it up and down to the same notes. 4 goes to 9 or 7, 7 goes to 4 or 6. Each note glides to it's nearest overtone, up or down. There's a finger piano arpeggio that just moves up and down a 53-TET interval while playing on the 4:5:6:7:9:11 notes. They start in synch, drift out and back twice in a minute. Scored for finger piano, tuba, trombone, flute, french horn in Csound.

60x60 Call for works

Heads up! All composers - All videographers - a new call for works


Vox Novus is the brain child of Robert Voisey. He assembles CD's and concerts of 60 second compositions by 60 different composers, called 60x60. Recently he worked with some dancers to accompany a 60x60 concert with 60 dances by 60 choreographers at theWinter Garden of the World Financial Center in NYC. A review in the NY Times was quite complementary.

Robert writes with a new call for works:


Did I forget to mention that there is another call for 60x60? Yes! With all the excitement I forgot to mention that there is a new call for 60 second works on recorded media. Here is the link: http://www.voxnovus.com/60x60/Call.htm


BUT WAIT! There's more!

In conjunction with New Media New Music New England We are lookiing for video too! Visit the following for details: http://www.nmnmne.org/what_if.html


I contributed one piece that was accepted in a Pacific Rim 60x60 mix, and highly recommend others do the same. 60 seconds can really focus the mind. And to hear your work played next to someone else's is fascinating.
