New music with The Wire Magazine.

The compilation brings together new and recent projects by composers Olivia Block (US), Cassandra Miller (CA/UK) and Andrew Hamilton (IE/UK), with Sheen’s eponymous Croon Harvest (2021–ongoing) as a central starting point.

The programme explores music in a situated and embodied state, floating on noise and quiet sounds, peeling off from the brink of silence towards a good old sing-along. In each work, the voice occupies a different space in relation to other sounds, the body, technology, or notions of memory and tradition.

The project is part of Musarc’s work with contemporary composers and the ensemble’s commitment to new music – brittle and radical, in need of projection as well as protection and advocacy. The choir was joined by musicians from the Royal College of Music and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance.

Instrumentalists: Cara Houghton (flute), Rowan Jones (clarinet), Michelle Hromin (bass clarinet), Andrew Hamilton (viola), Andrew Liddell (viola), Rebecca Burden (cello), Steve Potter (piano).

Sound engineering and mastering by Julian Sander.

Recorded in Resonance Extra's studios on 30th April 2022, Croon Harvest is a constellation of four experimental choral works curated by Jack Sheen for Musarc.

This episode takes the relationship between sound and space as its starting point. It features interviews with US academic and artist Brandon LaBelle, and British geographer George Revill. Brandon discusses the ways in which sound studies itself has carved out a particular space within academia, as well as the development of his own thinking on listening, acoustics and a sonic approach to politics. George examines the ways geographers have approached the relationship between sound and space, and discusses how sound might give us new ways of thinking about and communicating the complexities of environmental change.
Our artist showcase features the Mexican composer Angelica Castello.
