A wide-ranging set of compositions grounded in chamber music but with elements of improvisation, folk song, and live electronic manipulation, Zucker originally conceived of the suite while living in the UK. The music comprises a portion of Zucker’s Leftover Beats From The Edges Of Time, a nearly two-hour epic work for his large ensemble The Delegation.
