Composer Steven Ricks’ Assemblage Chamber features three chamber works that incorporate elements of the Baroque into Ricks’ glitchy, collage oriented textures. An eclectic artist who is active in electronic music and free improvisation in addition to through-composed acoustic work, Ricks filters Baroque influences through his omnivorous style, responding at the end of the recording with an electronic reaction piece, a reckoning with incorporating older material from the vantage point of 2022.
