welcome to the unexpected autopsy of now ….

the huddersfield contemporary music festival is celebrating the 60th anniversary of musique concrète and the pioneering work of pierre schaeffer by commissioning 60º by mathew adkins. his concept for the piece is to create a highly exciting and adventurous work that reflects the influence of schaeffer and the ideas that musique concrète has spawned across a wide range of experimental electronic music. essential to the project is the involvement and the contribution of sound materials by over 60 of the world’s leading electronic composers and sound artists like marc weiser, christian fennesz, david toop, scanner, conrad schnitzler, dror feiler, kasper toeplitz, christina kubisch etc..
the result will be premiered on 28th november 2008 at the huddersfield contemporary music festival.
