Summer, by James Weeks

Summer

by James Weeks

supported by

idontmeantoharmonyone This is a wonderful album of music that is at all times introspective, engaging and, most of all, poetic. A word to the performers too. Always sensitive, which the music really benefits from, and the production is of the highest quality. Congratulations all!

For anyone who enjoys this, I would also recommend a YouTube concert video entitled 'MUSICON - EXAUDI - A Book of Flames and Shadows' where James directs Exaudi in poetic (that word again!) dialog between the medieval and modern. Favorite track: Siro's Garden.

about

5 chamber works by James Weeks, beautifully performed by Explore Ensemble. An album of interlinked pieces that form a sequence. James Weeks says "I was aware of tying the pieces together as a set, by continuing and extending certain poetic ideas, ways of using and combining instruments, and ways of thinking about material....Things like the use of mixed instrumental duos, which comes from Violet-Violute, the use of a slow-moving or static background harmonic layer, which comes from Summer, the overall very soft and intimate instrumental idiom based on long, breath-length sounds, which appears in all the pieces other than Durham. And finally of course the poetic idea of a piece as opening up an imaginary (or remembered) space: music which unfolds as an area or a field, for the listener to wander in without having to follow a complex series of narrative events."

My humanities professor showed me this piece and i cannot stop coming back to it. Something deep and alluring of this piece keeps me wanting more. Absolutely one of my favorite cuts from last year. Ra!
