One of the many, many joys of rehearsing for the Mizzou International Composers Festival is the endless stream of decadent desserts. Tonight: frosted pumpkin cake and chocolate mousse cake. New music at its most delicious. @AlarmWillSound #2019MICF

Who wrote the best string quartet of the 20th Century?

Just a couple weeks away from the Mizzou International Comopsers Festival! We are looking forward to throwing down a couple sets at the end of July in Columbia. #MICF

Cole Anderson, our pianist, testing out his larger than life chess skills last week at the Sinquefield Reserve during our retreat

[Khemia @lakhemia]

A throwback to simpler times...last week. Shane enjoys the glassy calm of the late-morning lake. The dew is still dancing off the leaves as he glides to his destination. Lunch.

[Khemia @lakhemia]

Thursday was our last day at the Sinquefield Reserve. It was such an amazing experience to come here, rehearse, and create new sounds in preparation for our upcoming season. We can’t say enough about the generosity and support of our host, Jeanne Sinquefield, for this opportunity

[Khemia @lakhemia]

What is our favorite part of being in a new music ensemble? Working with other people and helping folks turn their ideas into a work of art.

If you missed yesterday's world premiere recording from last year's MICF (no. 6 of 7), you can listen to @AlarmWillSound perform "in effigies." by resident composer (and #Mizzou's own) Douglas Osmun right here: https://t.co/Ej1gujcGxI

[Khemia @lakhemia]

One of the pieces we are performing at #MICF is a work by inti figgis-vizueta @inticomposes. It's a super cool work featuring plenty of freedom and agency to explore the sound world inti has created. We love it!
