Pre-Order: Ansible [CD]

SPLICE Ensemble has spent the last ten years developing a repertoire for their uncommon instrumentation of trumpet, piano, percussion, and electronics. The group, comprising pianist Keith Kirchoff, percussionist Adam Vidiksis, and trumpeter Sam Wells, prizes deep collaboration with composers and a commitment to the rich possibilities of electroacoustic composition. On Ansible, the trio presents three works commissioned over the last decade by Steven L. Ricks, Caroline Louise Miller, and Elainie Lillios that highlight SPLICE Ensemble's sensitive and dynamic approach to timbre while examining issues of temporality.
