OVER-STUFFED YET?

Composer's Voice is a 28 minute TV show airing on Manhattan's cable access
channel MNN.org. Unfortunately, 28 minutes isn't always sufficient to
present a whole work from a composer. This Thanksgiving Holiday season Vox
Novus would like to present "The Lenape Creation Myth" from Alyssa Reit.

Alyssa Reit is a long time collaborator of Vox Novus and champion of new
music. This month we are celebrating Alyssa's work with her full work we
recorded at MNN. A Composer's Voice show which aired previously, a new
endeavor called Sanctuary Music, and a brand new call for
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame.

Call for Scores
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame featuring violinist Orest Smovzh

Vox Novus is calling for one-minute pieces composed for solo violin.

The theme to this Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame is for anything relating to punk
music. For Orest Smovzh, the possibility of short works resonates with the
raw simplicity of earlier punk and no wave music (the late 70s early 80s),
also some later noise music (specifically Japanese of the 90s). He often
describes these pieces as works that "resist elaboration, compress
dramaturgy, or freeze in a brief moment". Orest also usually calls them
"condensed music"

Deadline for works is December 6th, 2024
