Reposting of Music Competition
Original Post Date: 11/09/11
Are you a composer or know one?
We are all about collaboration here at Frame. All about it. And once a year, we open a Music Composition Competition to find new collaborators for our live and film work. Last year’s winner was Micah Clark. His music was in both Mortar, Sylphs Wrote and Satin Stitch. A talented composer, his works were necessary for the work that we made, and played an integral role in shaping the piece. Mortar would not be Mortar without Micah Clark. The reason we selected his music was the depth of the sound. I heard Stravinsky and Debussy and his own voice. An old, old soul but at the same time fresh.
It’s that time when we open the competition again, to find this year’s winner and collaborator with Frame. Here are the details:
2011-2012 Frame Dance Productions Music Composition Competition
Note: The deadline is January 6, 2012.
Frame Dance Productions announces its competition to select a piece of music for its upcoming Spring season. Its two-fold purpose is to offer outstanding emerging composers a forum for their recognition as well as an opportunity to collaborate with the dance performance company, Frame Dance Productions. We are looking for completed pieces, or for samples in consideration for a future work.
