British composer James Weeks discusses the evolution of visuality in his work, from emulation of the abstract painting of Antoni Tàpies to more recent, ecologically-oriented scores. The entanglement of our sensory stimuli leads to a fundamentally multimodal experience of space and landscape, explored in Weeks’ work through engagement with the art of the Dutch Golden Age (Schilderkonst, 2003-4), and later in ecologically-themed installation pieces including Bee Haven (2017). The development of multimodal ecological paradigms is of primary importance to our future art, a commitment to which Weeks’ most recent scores, including Weatherworld Quartets (2022-3), aim to speak.
