Alarm Will Sound is a 20-member band committed to innovative performances and recordings of todays music. They have established a reputation for performing demanding music with energetic skill. For A/RHYTHMIA, this new music band performs 14 pieces from composers spanning six centuries, all of which explore the concept of arrhythmia: want of rhythm or regularity, specifically of the pulse. The resulting work, on the ensembles fifth album, is both formidable and playful, upending order and expectation, often taking ideas akin to minimalism and refracting them through a funhouse mirror. This is wildly imaginative music, as joyful as it is challenging, designed to keep you on your toes and slightly off-balance.
