Vox Novus is calling for one-minute solo clarinet works composed for
15-Minutes-of-Fame: William Bruce Curlette to be performed at the October
30, 2011 Composer's Voice concert in New York City. The one-minute clarinet
works are to be written specifically for this project, which will be
performed by William Bruce Curlette. All works must be 60 seconds or less.

If using multiphonics and other extended techniques, use the fingering found
in the book, The Clarinet of the Twenty-First Century by E. Michael Richards

(http://userpages.umbc.edu/~emrich/clarinet21.html) and write in the
fingering (please, no circular breathing or double-tonguing)
