Sound The Alarm - Sound The Alarm CD

Sound the Alarm is a large ensemble founded for the explicit task of responding musically, socially and culturally to the genocide in Palestine. It a warning, a recognition and a fundraiser.

Instigated by Clayton Thomas, the music is a composed improvisation, a sonic allegory and a simple way to collect human energy in the right place for the right reasons.

This recording captures our second live performance, recorded and livestreamed by Johnston Street Jazz, at the Annandale Creative Arts Centre, June 27, 2024 – the 264th day of the ongoing genocide.
