Founded by David Skinner in 2005, Alarmire is made up of some of the finest consort singers in the UK and exists in order to explore and promote the compositional processes behind the great masterworks and lesser-known works of the late medieval and early modern periods.
Other recordings on the Obsidian label include the madrigals of Philippe Verdelot from the Newberry-Oscott partbooks, which in 1526 were a gift from the city of Florence to Henry VIII, and a recording of the Mass D'ung aultre amer, motets and chansons by Josquin Desprez with harpist Andrew Lawrence-King.
Other Projects include sound installations for art galleries and sound tracks for television and film.
