libretto by Nigel Maister, performed in and around the Temple of Dendur. The ensemble performed with Björk in March, 2015 at Carnegie Hall to kick-off her world tour for her album Vulnicura. In 2014 Alarm Will Sound kicked off Alarm System a program that brings musical artists from a variety of backgrounds together with Alarm Will Sound to create new work. In the 2014–2015 season the ensemble worked with Medeski Martin & Wood, Valgeir Sigurðsson, and Adult Fur (St. Louis-based producer). AWS presented two concerts in Colorado with Medeski Martin & Wood presenting new pieces by John Medeski, Billy Martin, Payton MacDonald, and Miles Brown (AWS bassist) as well as arrangements of MMW originals like "End of the World Party" and "Anonymous Skulls." A live album of this cooperation "Omnisphere" was released on 14 September 2018. In the 2015–2016 season Alarm Will Sound worked with Mira Calix, Rashad Becker and Tyondai Braxton. Alarm Will Sound first presented Ligeti, a concert in radio play format. Alarm Will Sound's production tells György Ligeti's story through a blend of music, text and imagery. Centered on his Chamber Concerto and Piano Concerto, the performance makes connections between biography and music, explores the relationship of politics and art, and sheds light on his unique artistic imagination. Band member Matt Marks, who performed horn, keyboards and electronics, died on May 11, 2018. He was 38 years old. During the COVID-19 pandemic Alarm Will Sound remained active, recording remotely utilizing software that allowed for real-time musical interaction as well as presenting performances of works like Ten Thousand Birds by John Luther Adams that allow for physical distancing among the audience. The remote recording projects culminated with a series entitled Video Chat Variations that featured new works by Meredith Monk, Tyshawn Sorey, John Fitz Rogers, Jlin, and Daniel Neumann. In addition to the Video Chat Variation, Alarm Will Sound embarked on other musical projects with Tyshawn Sorey including For George Lewis, a through-composed composition scored for sinfonietta commissioned by the ensemble in 2019, as well as several versions of autoschediasms, spontaneous compositions led by Sorey drawing on the improvisational abilities of the instrumentalists. For George Lewis was premiered in 2019 at Washington University in St Louis and released on an album with two versions of autoschediasms in 2021.
