🚨 In the Press 🚨

We’re grateful to Jeremy D. Goodwin for this thoughtful and beautifully produced feature on Alarm Will Sound’s 25th anniversary.

Jeremy captures something that’s core to who we are (an ensemble shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to take risks) and brings it to life through conversations with Alan Pierson and Gavin Chuck, alongside the music itself.

The audio feature (just over 4 minutes) is especially worth your time—no narration, just voices and sound. It’s a great snapshot of what we’ve been building for 25 years.

Jeremy, thank you for the care and attention you brought to this story—we really appreciate it.

Chamber orchestra Alarm Will Sound crafts original arrangements of songs from many corners of the musical landscape. An anniversary concert at the Grandel on May 5 will offer a tour of the group’s 25 years of innovation.

📼 AWS25 Archive Drop

Prey by — released April 11, 2025.

Leaning into the unfamiliar, collaborating, and bringing intense, visceral music to life. It's what we've done for 25 years.

With Prey, that energy is front and center. It's raw, searching, and unafraid to push at the edges of what an ensemble like ours can be. It’s music that doesn’t sit still, and neither have we.

As we look back during AWS25, we’re revisiting works like this that helped shape our identity. Projects that challenged us, surprised us, and expanded what we thought was possible.
Take a listen, and step back into this moment with us. 🎧
