We were thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response for the 2021-2022 Underscore; our first call for scores in over 15 years. Bent Frequency received nearly 500 applications of creative and high-quality compositions from all over the world, representing an impressive array of styles. The review of applications was a rigorous and thorough one undertaken by Bent Frequency and our three guest composers. It is indeed inspiring to be reminded of the wealth of musical creativity and diversity, reflected in the submissions received for this call.  

Bent Frequency would also like to express our sincerest gratitude to our guest judges:

Underscore would not have been possible without their expertise, time, and thoughtfulness.
