ranged from different aesthetics, styles, ethnicity, culture, age, gender
and career stage.  60x60 is specifically designed to represent a broad
cross-section of acousmatic music being created throughout the world today.

CONFLUENCE - a show of new visual/audio work - September 19, 2009

Opening final friday, September 25th

Confluence - new work in sound and shape by Rich Bitting

The natural soundscape is rich with color and nuance beyond imagination. It is from this sonic metaworld that I draw inspiration for my projects. The human perception of sound has a relationship with the other senses. As I grew to appreciate this relationship between the senses, I began to realize that my musical scores—the physical scores themselves—could serve not only as performance directions, they could convey meaning as visual art in their own right. Visual art—painting, sculpture, etc.—has its own way of expressing rhythms and harmonies. I have created separate works in both visual and sonic media that are representations of these same, intangible ideas. As a species, we have evolved to rely primarily on our sense of sight. Our brains have evolved to edit our soundscapes, to filter out “perceived” background “noise” and to process only that sound we deem necessary as information. I invite you to close your eyes, open your mind, and listen to the world through fresh ears. -Rich Bitting 2009 opening reception 6-11 pm exhibition is extended through November 15th

Coyote Faucet included in 60 X 60 Midwest Mix - October 22, 2008

Coyote Faucet has been included in the 2008 60 x 60 Midwest Mix.

"Coyote Faucet" is an acousmatic sound work created using the unique soundmark of the water faucet in the third floor painting studio in the old Art Academy of Cincinnati building in Eden Park. The accompaniment uses gated audio samples of an art student painting and cleaning brushes.

The 60x60 project has produced more than 20 different mixes highlighting the works of more than 1000 composers from around the world. Composers that have been included have ranged from every musical aesthetic, professional career stage, nationality, age, ethnicity, and gender. 60x60 uses a “guerrilla” style in producing and presenting itself. The project has been presented in as many different types of venues as it has in different countries around the world.

60x60 has been performed in concert halls, theater stages, night clubs, museums, art galleries, bars, store fronts, over the television, radio and Internet. The project has been mainly presented as an audio concert, but has also been presented as film, a live radio show, multimedia performance, multimedia media installation, a sound installation, and a dance performance.
