Ron Coulter, percussion; Steve Ricks, trombone and electronics--recorded on March 15, 2021. Another clip from the cutting-room floor. The end of what I think will be the lead track on one of the CDs...I like the way the whole track turned out, but I understand Ron's edits...it's a sprawling track that kind of has a lull just before this moment, so I think he chose the meatiest part, before things go over the edge and start a lugubrious slide to the bottom. This gets low and blatty...

Ricks Coulter This is the End

Final segment of the concert on September 21, 2023, by Oğuz Büyükberber (Bb clarinet, analog synth), Christian Asplund (piano, keyboards, amplified viola), and Steven Ricks (trombone, electronics); live recording in The Box, BYU Music Building, by Jeff Carter. I said track 4 was my favorite, but this one is pretty tasty as well...a sort of beautiful and subtle conclusion to the night.
