"What if sixty composers from 18 countries wrote 60 pieces for solo piano, each 60 seconds in length? This is the concept behind this brilliant CD, created by American pianist Guy Livingston. It is a showcase for the endless possibilities of late-twentieth century music. Many of the pieces are amplified or for piano and tape or use techniques from virtuosic-serialism to unsettling performance art. All are premieres written for Mr. Livingston. The framework is quite fascinating: Although one minute seems like an unbelievably short time, it actually offers the composers a good deal of scope. An entire atmosphere can be established (or destroyed) in 60 seconds. The program offers a wide-ranging sampler of new music styles from traditional classical to the cutting-edge of the avant-garde."
