Listen: Alarm Will Sound Performs Aphex Twin and Music from 'Hannibal'

On May 13, 2017, the chamber ensemble Alarm Will Sound closed out the 2017 Ecstatic Music Festival live at Merkin Concert Hall with music of Icelandic composer/producer Valgeir Sigurðsson, Tyondai Braxton, Game Show Outpatient (Matt Rogers) and Aphex Twin as well as newly-orchestrated selections of music from the television show Hannibal.

From the release of Acoustica– Alarm Will Sound's 2005 acoustic reworking of music by electronic musician Aphex Twin – the 20-member ensemble has specialized in performing music outside of the standard new-music repertoire. For this performance, AWS percussionist Chris Thompson arranged electronic selections from Brian Reitzell's score to Hannibal as well as the lo-fi electronica of British composer Matt Rogers, who performs as Game Show Outpatient.
