Wayne Horvitz’s newest regular ensemble was formed in spring 2012, and toured to New York for his May 2013 residency at The Stone – this is their first record. The RRCME started off as a fairly loose collective of Wayne’s favorite Seattle improvisers playing his music at Seattle’s Royal Room, the club he co-owns and books. As Wayne relates, “All the music was originally for smaller groups and then expanded. Actually RRCME is in many ways like Zony Mash. Both bands were originally set up as weekly, local gigs at the same venue as a way for me to a) explore something that was new to me and b) play some music on an ‘off night’. And in both cases, over time, they became significant projects.”
