NEW EP OUT NOW!

‘HOWL!’ EP is out now on new label ‘Oscillations’. A five-movement electronic composition that explores the experience and struggles of protest and rebellion. Available to purchase on Bandcamp and to listen to on all streaming platforms (Spotify Apple Music).

‘HOWL!’, initially inspired by the ‘Arab Spring’, explores the explosion of recent technologies as a conduit for protest and opposition movements of all kinds, but also their ambivalence and tendency towards corruption and confusion. Composed at first as a score for American choreographer, Maurice Causey, and premiered by Luzerner Ballet, the piece then evolved over multiple live performances, including its Hong Kong premiere in 2019, which took place just a few hundred metres from the independence protests, and featured local clarinettist Linus YS Fung who here appears on the EP version of HOWL! II.

With guest appearances from classical musicians, Fung Yat Shan (Clarinet) and Yury Revich (Violin), Prokofiev conjures a digital-age orchestra for the internet age, channeling the passions running through the wires that seek to turn blood into information. In 2022, with the war in Ukraine and protesting in Russia forbidden, HOWL! feels as relevant as ever.

Please support independent music and our new label - Oscillations.
