60x60 Presenters Mix 2012 at EDAU!

by Patricia Walsh 
The Presenters Mix 2012 was heard by an enthusiastic audience on Tuesday, 20
November, at the Electronic & Digital Art Unit, University of Central
Lancashire, Preston UK. A fantastic sound system was specially assembled at
EDAU for this eagerly awaited occasion with the 60x60 Presenters Mix 2012
being played simultaneously in the four rooms, halls and stairways of the
building. The original sound quality of these 60x60 works were only enhanced
further by this fabulous sounding set-up which everyone agreed brought the
whole venue to life.

This feature was fully appreciated by many of the listeners who moved,
somewhat stealthily, in and around the various spaces to experience and
immerse themselves in the unique acoustics and characteristics of each area.
Three well-placed and synchronised clocks helped to keep a track of the 60
works for those who were keen to follow the artists list. It was a
memorable, unique and exciting event and not to be missed! One reason why
Robert Voisey's 60x60 format works so well is because the awareness and
anticipation of a new track every minute makes for a truly unexpected,
interesting and engaging hour. 60 eclectic works which seem to create either
a random extension or suspension of time that is dependent solely upon the
listener's interpretation of each piece.

Over the course of the event, the Presenters Mix was played out twice.
Comedy, catastrophe and everything in between found its place amongst the
vast range of works, genres and concepts in this 60x60 mix. At the end of
the first hour a spontaneous round of applause drew everyone back together
from the various listening points. A second airing was then enjoyed over
drinks and lively discussions on the many different favourites along with
some intriguing debate on the merits of the 'minute maxim' itself. The
hilarious #37 by Mike Ferron; Last Night I Dreamt My House Was Clean by
Elaine Lillios; Nevada by Robert Voisey; Pluvial Precipitations in the
Iberian Peninsula by Juan Maria Solare and Himalayan Queen by Nivedita
ShivRaj were just some of the favourites mentioned - only limited space here
prevents the naming of more!

A silent black and white video made specifically for this event by its
curator, Patricia Walsh, accompanied the Presenters Mix 2012 on a six-minute
loop, displaying by turns the 60x60 Vox Novus website information and a
smoothly swinging pendulum. Many thanks to David Henckel, Dan Wilkinson and
Leon Hardman at EDAU for all their help and assistance and to Lubaina Himid
and Matt Gregory at Uclan. Thanks also to Robert Ratcliffe for all his work
coordinating the audio for the 60x60 Presenters Mix 2012.

To Do or Not To Do


Two things to always remember about PR: "You don't read the press you weigh
it." and "There is no such thing as bad press." 

Promote, promote, promote; the more exposure you get, the more successful
your career will be. It doesn't matter where the press comes from; it
doesn't matter what they say; it doesn't matter how they say it; as long as
they are talking about you and your work; it is press that you want. 

I used to make a caveat saying, "as long as the reviewer isn't a Nazi, no
press is bad press;" however, think about it, Hitler didn't ruin Wagner's
career. So let me repeat: you always want the most press you can muster. 

Never worry about a bad review. If you do get a bad review, c'est la vie;
and welcome to the club. We all get bad reviews, we all get bad
performances, and not every piece is loved and adored. In fact, after you
write the piece your opinion matters very little in the scheme of things.
The most important thing you can do for your career is to get it out there
to as many people as you can. Let the work stand for itself. 

All PR counts in your favor, that goes from a "like" on your page from your
mom, to a feature article in the Sunday edition of the New York Times. It
doesn't matter if it is good or bad; be professional, (always be polite and
professional) and spread the NEWS for everyone to see. 

I am not saying to advertise a bad review per se; however, there is merit in
using bad press which I have done myself personally. But don't cry over a
bad review or comment. And for your career's sake, if your work got lauded
by a review, award, comment, or performances; promote it and pass it on to
whoever will listen. This is exactly what fan pages, twitter feeds, and
blogs are made for. 

One important note to remember: people are watching, especially on the web.
For example, as a producer I have systems to see what announcements are
being posted on the Internet and who is linking to the Vox Novus website and
project pages. I think most people are getting the importance of generate
traffic due to facebook with their "like" pages. 

When a composer or musician introduces themselves to me, the first thing I
do is "google" their name and read their: official website, Wikipedia,
Facebook, or LinkedIn pages. Hopefully, on one of those pages there is a
link to a performance of their music. And I do that in two minutes or less
otherwise I usually move on. 

Your home page should be top of any Google search; however, the more
listings you have on that first page containing sites which are talking
about you, the more interest you will generate for your career. And the only
way you get that is by doing the above.
