A musical rediscovery after 300 years! Artistic Director Patrick Allies recently had the good fortune of a 17th-century partsong fall into his lap, literally. The lyrics are romantic - but are there political undertones?

Catch us tomorrow night in Edinburgh!

Next up: our 3rd US tour. We'll be setting off in a week's time. If you can make it to any of our concerts, do come and say hello! More details on our website.

Huge thanks to everyone for getting us to our total! The recording now goes straight into production and will be arriving on your doormat (or digital equivalent) in November.

Final day!

BTS of yesterday's gig at the Wigmore Hall with these fantastic musicians. It was such a pleasure working with @siglodeorovocal.bsky.social and Amy Tress on Ben Rowarth's huge new work, The Fall. I've really enjoyed helping facilitate the live electronics, a lovely bit of musical problem solving.

I'm at the Wigmore Hall today playing with @siglodeorovocal.bsky.social, so I thought I'd post the audio from my last adventure there, with the amazing EXAUDI. They sung the hell out of my icy microtonal imitative counterpoint electronic vocal stuff: soundcloud.com/joseph_bates...

Performed by EXAUDI, conducted by James Weeks, at the Wigmore Hall, 2025.
