Dailysonic


While Googling for new info on short songs, I came across Dailysonic. I'm not sure what to call it, so I'll quote from its web site:

"We didn't have a clue as to what we were getting ourselves into. We wanted to create this thing that combined the spirit of public radio, the "hipster"* subculture, indie music, and the web 2.0/mobile/wired lifestyle..."

It's run by Aaron, Isaac, Adam, Anni and a host of contributors, and a few weeks ago they podcast a three-part series on songs under one-minute in length. Check it out:

Music Series: Really really short songs (part 1)

Guy Livingston

Guy Livingston is a classically-trained concert pianist who lives in Paris and holds degrees from Yale University, the New England Conservatory, and the Royal Conservatory of the Netherlands. He has studied as well at the Academie de Villecroze with Claude Helffer, and at the IRCAMs Academie.

In 1996, he traded sixty bottles of Jack Daniels to sixty composers all over Europe, Asia, and America in exchange for a new work for solo piano. The only constraints, as specified by Guy, were that the piece be under 60 seconds in length, and that the audience not be endangered in any way.

The result was "Don't Panic! 60 Seconds for Piano," a CD of Guy's performances of the commissioned pieces, released in 1999, and a great addition to the TMW library.
