Commissioned Work

Blur by Thomas Osborne

10/23/2018

 
Picture
Blur is the first piece commissioned by the Hawaii Saxophone Foundation. Composed by UH Professor Thomas Osborne he describes his piece as a reflection between music and the visual arts.

“Whether one is composing a new piece or taking a photograph, one must consider some of the same basic principles: proportion, color and form. Many of my favorite photographs using long exposures, photos in which the tail lights of a passing car may paint vivid red streaks across the frame.”

Blur is a sonic attempt to recreate those effects through sweeping long tones across the texture like crisscrossing beams of color juxtaposed to undulating rhythms and sonorities.

I really thought that working based on commissions is going to be hard, but it is a lot easier than I thought. Well, the challenge of not being paid if I do not produce results is what made me stronger. I know that there are a lot of weak people who are around us, and that is not a big issue if you ask me. As long as we can provide for ourselves, then nothing else matters. I hope that you, too, find success in commission based works.
