2009 Fauxharmonic Orchestra Competition Entry
Date: 31/05/2009
I have entered the Fauxharmonic Orchestra's annual competition yet again. Following the success of Stop All The Clocks in 2008, I have submitted a new concerto called Horizon. An audio recording will be uploaded soon.
The Horizon Oboe Concerto was inspired by the work of sculptor Miles Halpin, particularly his exhibition Maps of the Universe which I saw at the Ropewalk Gallery in Barton-upon-Humber. Miles asserts that " the idea of maps has become more and more essential to my work - maps of experiences, identities, people places and events". He continues, “Everything has a map of its own history embedded in it and implied in its features. Looked at in this way, everything is a map,” he went on. “Maybe objects are more useful and interesting if we forget their manifest form and just think of them as maps - the worn step on the stairs is unimportant as a piece of wood, but is fascinating as a map of a million ascensions and descents”. The Horizon Oboe Concerto similarly is not intended as an exploration of physical landscapes alone but explores both emotional ones too.
