I composed 60+ in 1988 and dedicated it to my teacher Pieter van der Staak. The piece has a minimal character. I combined two existing guitar techniques (hammer on/pull off and right hand arpeggios) resulting in a new playing technique and a complexity of rhythms.
It is notated in boxes. Each box contains a separate motif; the playing order must remain intact (as notated), but each motif can be repeated ad libitum. Each motif proceeds to the next without interruption: the total composition (60 boxes + coda) lasts 15-20 minutes. I.e. each box lasts (on average) 15-20 seconds. For this youtube clip however I didnt repeat the motifs as many times as I normally do when I play it for an audience. This is because of the time limit youtube prescribes.
60 + is published by the Dutch publishing company DONEMUS, Amsterdam. Website Annette Kruisbrink: http://www.annettekruisbrink.nl
