We had numbers from 50 to 1 772 000 NOK (Norwegian Kronas, which are around 8 times a Euro).
The arithmetic avarage: 69 542,70 NOK (= 8 692 € = 7 849 Pounds)
The median avarage: 1600 NOK (= 200 € = 180,60 Pounds)

Here under the answers to questionnaire 1. Since it is the second time Borealis pays a day, you can read the same answers in the post for Day 1.
Borealis pays today much higher amount than on Day 1, which outlines two very opposite positions in the discussion: How much should a composer / an artist earn per day?

Work for Pay A Day: new questionaire around New Music, the image of New Music and the sponsors relation to New Music
Work on Social Piece (show 10 March 2010): looking at the (potential) conditions of the performance and their social aspects. Searching for concepts around the community of an audience and the objective of a piece. The composition must be the trigger of performativity, more than a selfreferential performance ...

Pay A Day 1, sponsord by Borealis Festival (23-11-09)
23 November 2009 and I am trying to translate 200 NOK (ca. 23,84 Euro) of salary into a day of work for 'social piece' for Borealis. 23,84 euro of salary is less then unemployment money. The net will be around 10 Euro.
First press release
Pay a Day
How much will you pay a composer for a single day's work?
The Borealis Festival for contemporary music in Bergen/Norway seeks individuals and institutions interested in participating financially in the debate around cultural subsidies:
Are you, or is your organisation, interested in funding a single day of work by the Brussels based artist and composer David Helbich?
You decide how much his time is worth and on which day he will undertake the work. By paying for a single day you have the opportunity to contribute to the project as a whole.
Borealis initiates this project by paying David Helbich:
200 nok for November the 23rd 2009
and
5000 nok for February the 7th 2010.
- The final work will be performed at the Borealis festival, March 9-13 2010.
- David will report on each day of work on his blog at pay-a-day.blogsopt.com
- All patrons will have the opportunity to speak directly with the composer if they wish.
Will you support us in our aim to have 10 days work scheduled by December 1st 2009? Or do you prefer to fund a day in the last and critical phase of the project?
Contact alwynne@borealisfestival.no to submit your date and amount and for answers to your questions
