TERRARIUM

TERRARIUM—an immersive soundscape where geological history and human memory converge—arrives on 14th February 2025 via Crashed Records. Composed by Ann Cleare and performed by Crash Ensemble, the album invites listeners to experience the shifting landscapes of Ireland’s Midlands through a sonic lens. Premiered live at New Music Dublin in 2024, TERRARIUM is the culmination of Cleare’s residency with Crash Ensemble. The work intricately maps the geological evolution of Ireland’s Midlands, transforming natural and industrial landscapes—from ice to lake to bog to urbanisation—into a dynamic sound world.
