What If? (60x60x60) up and on-line! March 18, 2010
Greetings,
It is my pleasure to tell you that the NMNMNE’s (New Media New Music New England) project What If? (60x60x60) is now up on-line for public access.
http://www.nmnmne.org/what_if.php
For the project, there was a competition for both composers and film makers to create works of 60 seconds. The idea is that the viewer can choose (or let the website choose at random) any combination of music and video. The website will sync up the two.
My composition, The Ballad of Olga D., was chosen for this project. This was especially fun for me since this piece is the first ever stand-alone electronics-only work that I have ever composed (not counting electronics-only film scores). The one non-electronic component is me speaking the Russian word “Zdravstvuite! (Здравствуите!)”, which means “hello”…you can probably tell by the inflections in my voice what the piece is about (hint: think Russian club scene…).
There are lots of really interesting works that will give you, the viewer, endless hours of random pairing fun!
Thanks again to NMNMNE for putting together this very cool project, and for choosing my work to be a part of it!
Demetrius
