about

"The visual aspects of the album are almost worth the purchase alone, with the back cover and each artist’s notes which accompany their piece in the hefty booklet presented as redacted emails, prefaced by a concept-heavy but accessibly-written essay by art, design and music researcher, curator and DJ, Prof. Dr. Holger Lund (...). Yes, 60 Seconds Each is as close to everything all at once as is conceivably possible, and it makes for a truly mind-blowing hour, after which a period of silence with eyes closed is strongly recommended."
— Aural Aggravation (USA)

" (...) the story of how this rather simple end product came into being is no ordinary one (...)."
— Field Notes (DE)

" (...) wir haben es mit KlangKunst zu tun, einem im Normalfall mit eher längeren und dramaturgisch komplexen Strukturen arbeitenden Sujet. Diese Komplexität auch in die ganz kurze Form zu bringen, das Klang-Kneten, -Samplen, -Verschränken, -Verwirren, -Entwirren, -Entspannen auf das Nötigste zu reduzieren (und dabei nichts zu verlieren) gelingt (...) verblüffend gut.
— Westzeit (DE)

"(...) da sfigolii impercettibili, a brividi improvisativi, da canti spiritati montanari a sputi di rumore bianco, da spasmi di percussioni a sequenze ambient, da scivolamenti e scratch di giradischi a cut-up di sample spauriti, eccetera, eccetera. Qualcosa si potrebbe recuperare come librari music, altrimenti mah."
— BlowUp (IT)

This LP was born out of a data leak:
In 2022, the opening of the position of Professor for Sound Art at a German Art Academy attracted the applications of a broad, international panorama of sound artists. After the position was filled, the email rejection to all other applicants was sent by mistake by the university with an open distribution list (cc).

Kristof Georgen, one of the applicants used this mishap to develop a concept for a collective sound art project, inviting the artists included in the open cc to send a 60-second sound piece.

A group of 32 artist who were prepared to understand a record as a group work, followed the invitation - the result is „60 Seconds Each“. The fragmentation of many music scenes during the pandemic, which still lingers today, is countered here with a statement.

This heterarchical approach transformed the application competition into an artistic cooperation which ultimately became a very diverse compilation, a one of a kind „Salon des Refusés“ of sound art.
The time limitation of an LP and the restricting concept of 60 seconds stands as an antithesis to the unmanageable and boundless characteristic of the data leak.

This reduction to the essential determines also the visual concept of the release. Fragments of redacted email addresses of the participating artists, forming a cloud of unreadable data which merges into the background of the cover art are an essential part of the design.
The 60-second grid also structures the vinyl groove into a strict visual pattern, which can be read as small chunks of each participating artist’s work.

The 12-page inlay includes an essay by art, design and music researcher, curator and DJ, Holger Lund.
