Update: UnTwelve 2011 Microtonal Composition Competition

For those of you who weren't yet aware, UnTwelve is pleased to offer our third annual competition for composers in the budding field of new tunings, temperaments, and microtonality. The competition welcomes new works of recorded music which reflect the potential of using tunings systems and temperaments other than 12-tone equal temperament.

First prize is $500.00 (USD); we will also recognize 2nd prize ($250) and 3rd prize ($150) finalists. A new category of Performance Awards has been added this year in partnership with MicroFest. Works for solo retuned digital piano will be eligible to receive a premiere performance and CD recording by virtuoso pianist Aron Kallay as part of MicroFest 2012 in the Los Angeles area. For more information, and to learn how to register, please visit:

And please, spread the word to all of your composer friends! The due date for works if Feb. 15th. We are eager to help composers learn the craft of tuning and xen/micro/macro-tonality, and to give away prize money to worthy talent! 

Best,

The UnTwelve crew
