Alarm Will Sound | Alarm System - Announcement @alarmwillsound | Uploaded December 2014 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
Alarm Will Sound launches Alarm System, a program to expand the circle of musical artists from a variety of backgrounds creating great music for the ensemble. In the first year of the program, Alarm Will Sound is collaborating with Medeski Martin and Wood, Valgeir Sigurđson, and Adult Fur. These artists represent diverse musical styles and creative methods, ranging from experimental jazz to electronica, studio production to funk jams, and algorithmic composition to open improvisation. Chris Thompson, a performer/composer in Alarm Will Sound says, “It's exciting to imagine what these artists will create for Alarm Will Sound without the restriction that their work start its life as a traditional printed score and parts. Instead, the first step will be bringing the ensemble to the artist’s music-making method, whatever that may be.” The works from this season's collaborations will be premiered in Colorado in February and St Louis in May.
Lead support for Alarm System is provided through The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation and Paul R. Judy Center for Applied Research.
