Vox Novus is calling for one-minute pieces composed for solo violin. Selected works will be premiered for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with violinist Orest Smovzh. The performance will happen online in the beginning of 2025.
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"
To summarize:
1) Punk rock inspiration
2) Condensed pieces that compress everything the composer wants to do in one minute.
Only works one-minute in length for violin will be considered. Deadline for works is December 6th, 2024
Guidelines:
-Deadline for works is December 6, 2024
-Works are for violin solo only no electronics.
-No works over one minute (60 seconds) will be reviewed.
-Works should be composed specifically for this call and performer.
-All pieces must be premieres.
-Multiple submissions are not accepted. Send your best work!
