David Morneau
David Morneau (born May 2, 1975) is an American composer.[1][2] He is most noted for his work with the 60x365 project.[3][4] 60x365 is a project where David Morneau blogged a 60 second composition once a day for an entire year.[5] The 365 miniature compositions include ambient tracks, found sound, instrumental performances, and plenty of loop and sample-based pieces.[6] One of the inspirations of 60x365 was Boris Willis's Dance-A-Day project where Boris Willis podcasted a single dance every day for a year[7] Another inspiration (including the title) is 60x60. 60x60 is another miniature project in which Morneau's work was also part of several 60x60 mixes including the Crimson Mix, Order of Magnitude Mix, 2009 International Mix, 2008 International Mix, Evolution Mix (part II) 2007 International Mix, 2007 Midwest Mix, and 2006 Midwest Mix.[8]
