Christian Asplund (viola, keyboards) and Steven Ricks (trombone, electronics) have been making music together for the past 12 years as RICKSPLUND, an improvisatory duo that blends acoustic and electronic sounds into a constant flow of mercurial music. The duo has performed and recorded with Douglas Ewart, Vinny Golia, Ron Coulter, and many others, and their music is available on the Neuma, pfMENTUM, New Focus Recordings, and Comprovise Records labels. They are both currently professors of music composition and theory at BYU. Their performance at 12MM will feature their typical blend of diverse sounds and influences--please enjoy!

Once the boundaries of the box are crossed, the performer must perform. The box is a 4”x4” stage.
While inside the box, the performer cannot see outside the perimeters. The performers’ field of vision becomes nearsighted.
The floor does not have to be the floor.
Structure Feels Poetic to Me was directed, edited, filmed, and hand colored by Constance Anderson.
12 Minutes Max is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and colleague Paul Reynolds: artist, librarian, and patron of the arts. 12 Minutes Max is a curated monthly performance series featuring experimental short works by local artists in many different disciplines, including dance, music, film, and more. Each piece is followed by a Q&A with the artist. 12MM is modeled after the program originated by On the Boards in Seattle.
This event takes place on the third Sunday of each month.
