about

‘Melbourne in 60 Seconds’ is a collaborative effort, born in lockdown as a positive project during testing times, a bit of joy amid the frustration.

Firstly a challenge, a distraction and an opportunity to do what musicians do best – compose and perform music.
Secondly, as the doors opened once again and music slowly returned to the stages, the corners, the pubs and the footpaths, a reminder of what a great musical town Melbourne is.

You will find offerings reflecting on everything from the weather, the G, pubs and their clientele, Moomba, street lights, communication towers, lost love, lockdown, the lanes, the streets, the suburbs and the city.

The performers are as varied as the music - established acts, troubadours, careers spanning fifty plus years to the emerging and those yet to set foot on a stage.

There were only three rules; the work had to be original, relate in some way to Melbourne, with a maximum length of one minute (though some apparently believe a minute is 73 seconds which we’ll put down to inflation. Besides, who are we to judge given our 60 tracks has crept out to 62 – call it two bonus tracks!).

Music is part of the fabric of this city and both shapes and reflects our culture.
It sets Melbourne apart, it attracts, it employs and it celebrates.

This is a salute to the performers, the road crews, designers, the venues, the pubs, the record stores, all those involved directly or indirectly in getting the music out there - and of course the punters, without whose support there would be no music industry.

All profit from CD sales and downloads will be donated to Support Act

I would like to tip my hat to English composer and keyboard player Morgan Fisher, whose albums 'Miniatures' (1980) and 'Miniatures 2' (2020) featuring a collection of sixty second compositions were the inspiration for this project.
