ANNOUNCING THE ONLINE
HI-TECH TASK FORCE
NMC is in the process of developing many services for
the new-music community aside from the magazine. The
website, especially, is building on such ideas as our
yellow pages, calendars, advertising specials and all
sorts of useful features.
One great need, we have discovered, is technical
knowledge. There is so much demand from composers and
performers now for the skills and expertise of web
designers and related technicians that we have seen a
place for our making a contribution to the effort to
secure such services. It is to organize a cadre of
such specialists for referral when assignments come
along. The members of this cadre, or consortium, if
you like, will be selected for paying tasks, typically
new web designs. NMC is not charging for this service.
You, and you alone, will negotiate with the client.
If you are interested in placing your name on our Task
Force, or know someone who is, send us a very brief
resume with current rates to the e-mail address below. Ideally,
an applicant should be a free lancer with scheduling
flexibility. Anyone with a full-time job is not ruled
out, so long as such commitment to an assignment can
be met. There is no other commitment required, just
your interest and availability.

As a composer, have you heard your music on the radio lately?
This March, the American Music Center launched Counterstream Radio, a new web-based station which features music of many styles and pedigrees created by U.S. composers. Drawn from AMC's substantial collection of recordings, Counterstream's broadcast library currently features more than 4,000 pieces...including yours!
Please encourage your friends and fans to listen for your music on Counterstream Radio. It will help us promote the station and shine light on composers like you.
Counterstream's current listeners are loving it:
I am so pleased with the content! I listen to more new stuff in one day than I usually hear in a year. Now I just have to be careful not to listen to too much that I won't get any composing done!
--Daniel Tapio Heila, composer/flutist
This is a tremendous and entertaining resource for a presenter. It sharpens my knowledge of American music and inspires me. When you launched the site, I told my staff that if they would like an idea of what my programming will be like, listen to Counterstream Radio.
--Greg Evans, Director of the Concert Division, Kaufman Center
If you or your record label would like to submit future recordings to Counterstream Radio, please mail them to:
Counterstream Radio
30 W. 26th St., Suite 1001

Call for Works for the 60x60 project for 2008
with deadline May 21, 2008
Vox Novus is inviting composers to submit works 60 seconds or less in length
to included in its fifth annual 60x60 project. 60 compositions will be
selected to be performed continuously in a one-hour concert, in conjunction
with multimedia elements and an analog clock marking the passage of time.
During the concert each of the 60 pieces selected will begin precisely at
the beginning of the minute, this will mark the end of one piece and the
beginning of another. There will be no pause between the pieces. Works may
be less than 60 seconds in length, but may not exceed 60 seconds. Works
selected that are less than 60 seconds long will be "padded" with silence
either before, after, or surrounding the composition. Please note that the
total duration of the work including silence may NOT exceed sixty seconds.
The 60x60 project's definition of a record work is as follows: any work
created as a musical composition which is captured on recorded media, which
does not require live performers for its production in broadcast at concert
halls, radio, multi-media, etc. Its creation can include but not limited to
acoustic instruments, voice, environmental sources, and computer (Sampling,
MIDI, C Sound, ProTools, etc.)
|  |
Acoustic compositions should be submitted with the understanding that it is
their recording that is of prime importance and is what will be used to
determine its selection. Scores of works are strongly discouraged and will
not be used in the selection process.
Excerpts of larger works are strongly discouraged. 60x60 is a project of
"signature works" and short works created specifically for the 60x60
project. Works generated from procedures (i.e. mathematical matrices,
organizational systems, or computer programs,) remixed works, or themes and
motives recomposed from other of the composer's own work are acceptable.
The call is open to composers of any nationality, age, or career stage.
Works submitted must not have been previously performed or broadcasted.
Compact Discs that include the audio submission must be labeled with the
composer's name and the title of the work. The submission form must be sent
at the same time with the submitted work. Submission form must contain the
composer's name, address, email, phone number, composition title,
composition length, and track position on the compact disc. Biographies and
program notes may be included on a separate sheet, but must be typed and
each may be no longer than 100 words in length.
Multiple works may be submitted. Each work must be noted on the submission
form(s) and clearly indicated on the CD. Do Not send originals! No works
will be returned, and may be performed in subsequent performances after the
debut concert. All submissions must be postmarked by May 21, 2008. Selected
works will be announced on September 17, 2007. Submission of the work(s) on
compact disc must be accompanied by the submission form and sent to:

Articles for this issue should be twetween 1500 and 3000 words in length and should investigate how the subject's various creative strands intersect. LM is especially interested in articles on the creative lives of Paul Bowles and Arnold Schoenberg. Deadline will be announced.
