About
Premiered by the Moreau VanTuinen Duo for their 2020 Call for Miniatures.
“Blurs” refers to any particularly blurry happenstance. Examples include standing up too fast, not quite understanding what someone says, falling asleep for a few seconds, losing phone reception, a mirror after a shower, when blue becomes purple, walking through a dark hallway, tripping, forgetting a name, the side of the road from a moving car, opening your eyes underwater, hummingbird’s wings, dreams, headlights entering fog, tears, déja vu, memories from childhood, and in this case, a short duet for metal percussion and tuba.
