James Weeks: weatherworld quartets (soundfestival 2026)
- 30 Oct 2026, 6 p.m., The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK, Find out more and tickets
Description
Quatuor Bozzini
weatherworld quartets is a cycle of six quartets, each around 10 minutes,exploring our sensory and bodily experience of the outdoors - the ‘weatherworld’. Their sonic landscape is pervaded by rain and wind, sounding out the surfaces and bodies of the instruments in a shifting weave of harmonics, open strings and unpitched noise; sustained, glanced, brushed, tapped. In two quartets the bow is replaced by plant materials – fern fronds and cypress sprigs – heightening the exploration of an intimate, immersed way of being in the natural world.
Duration
6-7pm
