The 60 Second work Nano Opera: The Rise, Triumph, and Fiery Demise of Robotika is now part of the 60x60 Voice Mix as part of the Vox Novus 60x60 10 Year Anniversary. Director Rob Voisey has created 10 mixes in honor of this great milestone for 60x60. These mixes will be performed internationally and include mixes like the 60x60 Athena Mix, the Presenter's Mix, the New York Mix, the Pacific Rim Mix, and the Concordance Mix. I had the privilege of coordinating this year's 60x60 Athena Mix, an exciting mix featuring the electronic works of sixty talented women from around the world. More info on 60x60 below.

Nano Opera Notes:
"Nano Opera: The Rise, Triumph, and Fiery Demise of Robotika" is an exhaustive opera in 3 acts. In Act 1 we meet the fledgling Robotika adrift in outer space. During the riveting battle scene in Act 2, the evil antagonist Teknilateroa betrays Robotika in a scintillating battle of wits. Act III begins with a massive explosion as Robotika accidently hits the big red button that destroys the galaxy's second quadrant. The opera ends with Robotika's ashes again adrift in the multiverse.

Announcing the First 60x60 Voice mix

The 60x60 (2012) Voice mix is the first 60x60 mix comprised of works which
incorporate the human voice. Thomas Gerwin is the audio coordinator for the
60x60 (2012) Voice Mix.
Thanks to Thomas Gerwin (The Voice Mix Audio Coordinator) we will be
scheduling a performance of this mix at the International Sound Art Festival
Berlin 2012.

International Sound Art Festival Berlin 2012 focuses on a very special
issue, the most intimate and intuitive way to express oneself through sound:
the voice. The human voice is not only an essential part of each and every
communication, but also the oldest musical instrument. It expresses since
ever most spontaneously, natural und precisely emotions, quite directly as
well as artfully formed and modulated. At the same time it is the most
important tool to analyze and define matters of the world semantically in a
powerful and extremely complex way, if desired. Most seemingly no other
instrument can be used (= encoded and decoded/experienced) in such multiple
and profound ways as the human voice.

International Sound Art Festival Berlin 2012 approaches the phenomenon
through concerts/artistic sound performances, an interactive sound
exhibition, through soundwalks and a symposium, which are connected
conceptionally counterpointing the field of interest. A focus will be set to
the quality of authenticity and to the worlds of experimental noise and
environmental sound.

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1

Feel like writing an opera is only for big name composers with big budgets? Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera? Almost two years ago I embarked on the largest musical production I have created to date - Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. After writing the award-winning Creation Oratorio and dozens of multimedia works, I wanted to combine my love of the audio and the visual into a single large scale work. Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) . Many great operas use Shakespeare, the Brothers Grimm , and Biblical stories, all of which include interesting characters, strong themes, and action. Libertaria borrows heavily from messianic stories, but is se

What Skills Do You Need to Become a Songwriter?

What Skills Do You Need to Become a Songwriter? Becoming a successful songwriter is the dream of many musicians. But knowing how to write a song , learn an instrument, and make a successful musical career can seem impossible. Well, it does take a lot of work. Not everyone that wants to be a professional musician will succeed, and many just enjoy writing songs as a fun hobby for their enjoyment. Do I need to Sing or Play a Musical Instrument? This might seem like a simple question, but it actually has a complicated answer. Why? Some songwriters never learned a single instrument yet can come up with great lyrics and catchy melodies. Others have played piano or guitar for years or are trained singers. So what is the answer? As a songwriter, you need to understand different aspects of the songwriting process. That doesn't mean you have to have an incredible voice or be the best guitar player on the block. What it does mean is that you need to know music. There is no better

Free Classical Sheet Music and Free Opera Downloads @ Scribd

Sheet Music (Photo credit: jayneandd ) Awhile ago I decided that I would upload the bulk of my music scores and sheet music to sites like Scribd, the Petrucci Music Library , and Archive.org for free sheet music downloads. Some musicians told me that it was ridiculous to give away my music. The truth is that I don't depend on music publishing sales of my scores, and I would rather inspire a young piano student, percussion ensemble, opera singer, grandma, bored music student, or music teacher to play and study my music than hold on tight to my copyrights and let my music scores collect virtual dust on my hard drive. The Petrucci Library, Scribd, and Archive.org all have dozens of free music scores available for choir, vocal solos, piano, percussion, orchestra, opera, multimedia works, and more. You can see a short list of available free sheet music by checking out the Scores page. You might want to check out scores to my modern opera Libertaria: The Virtual Opera , an ex

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 2

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 2 After the incredibly positive feedback that I had from Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1 , I thought I would talk a little bit about the composition angle of writing, at least how I do it in regards to vocal music . Here's a quick primer for anyone learning some of the basics of writing vocal music for opera, musicals, classical music , etc. 1. The Sketch I have had several great teachers in my life - Dr. Clare Shore , Hilton Jones, Dr. Kristine Burns, Paul Reller , Dr. Frederick Kaufman, Dr. Orlando Garcia, Chuck Owen, etc. My composition prof (and USF SYCOM guru) Paul Reller helped me develop the composition technique that I have had for years. Download the Libertaria: The Virtual Opera Soundtrack at iTunes When I have the time to go through the entire composition process (because sometimes I have to skip a step or two for deadlines), I will start out with pencil, paper, and a piano (or keyboard, in my case).
