Theater, Bellingham, Washington, USA 
11/7, 2pm – 60x60 Sanguine Mix at Western Washington PAC Concert Hall,

The WWU Department of Music and Sound Culture present “Minifest,” a

November 6 and 7 on Western’s campus. 

The concerts will feature music-video presentations from around the globe
and live performances from local musicians including Kat Bula, Bruce
Hamilton, David Ney, members of Umami, Sarah Jerns, members of Savage Henry,
Kali Tupper-Richards, Jordan Rain/Yogoman and several more TBA.

The November 6 performance will take place in the Old Main Theater, and the
November 7 show will be in the PAC Concert Hall. Both shows begin at 2pm;
admission for each is $5 with tickets available through the WWU Box Office.

Event organizer and Associate Professor of Music Bruce Hamilton predicts "an
extremely rich experience; folks will be treated to an unpredictable feast
for the eyes and ears." 

Eclecticism will rule the day as highly focused performances and
presentations of folk, experimental pop, jazz, electroacoustic, free
improvisation, world music, classical, quirky pop, R&B, etc., are allowed to
coexist and form larger sets or pieces. In addition to the live music, two
music-video mixes curated by Vox Novus for the international 60x60 project
will be presented, each mix containing sixty one-minute works.

One 60x60 mix will be performed in its traditional layout as one block of 60

60x60 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, 60x60
testifies to the vibrancy of contemporary composition by presenting the
diverse array of styles, aesthetics and techniques being used today.

This version of 60x60, called 360 degrees of 60x60, is sponsored in part by
the International Computer Music Association (ICMA) - www.computermusic.org
The works included in the mix were created specifically for the 2010 ICMC
RED Edition (International Computer Music Conference) presented by Stony
Brook University in New York City and Stony Brook. Six 60x60 mixes featuring
360 pieces from different composers throughout the world will presented
during the conference and at remote concerts around the globe.  

The 6 different mixes are all named a different shade of red to honor the
RED edition of ICMC: 60x60 Burgundy mix, Crimson mix, Magenta mix, Sanguine
mix, Scarlet mix, and Vermilion mix. Each mix is one hour long and contains
different composers totaling to 360 different works each by different
composers from many different countries around the world.

This performance is a special video collaboration created by Patrick
Liddell.

Patrick Liddell is a composer and video artist living in Chicago. His
music/video is a postmodern blend of 'art' and 'popular' styles, with strong
hints of electronic, ethnic, video game, experimental, and film music. His
YouTube project "Video Room 1000" has received over one million views and
has been featured on a host of viral websites. Patrick recently completed
the video for Vox Novus's "360 degrees of 60x60", a six-hour video
installation featuring the works of 360 different composers; each hour of
the video revisits the same source material but manipulated to uniquely
accompany the music playing. He regularly performs live and improvised video
with many groups in the Chicago area, as well as his own video/music/art
under the moniker [ontologist]. Please discover more at: www.ontologist.us.
