Acoustica

Released On: July 1, 2005

Label: Cantaloupe Music

Sku #: CA21028

The long-awaited followup to their acclaimed all-Steve Reich debut, ALARM WILL SOUND, the young 22-piece new music band featuring voices, strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussionists, takes on twisted techno master APHEX TWIN in ACOUSTICA.

Alarm Will Sound, who the NY Times calls "the future of classical music," has, with a cadre of 10 arrangers, painstakingly recreated and rethought Aphex Twin's legendary electronic work for an all-acoustic ensemble. From creative new transcription ideas to using non-standard "classical music" instruments to ensuring that all four drummers are kept busy with Aphex Twin's unimaginably intricate beats, this sounds like no CD you've heard before. With bonus remixes of the remixes by the emerging Berlin-based techno master Dennis DeSantis.

"A staggering palette of nuances and colors... expert execution" - Billboard "Uberhip" - Entertainment Weekly


All sounds and effects on this recording were produced acoustically, with the addition of electric guitars, electric bass, and Fender Rhodes.
