Rick is the co-leader of two musical collaborations. The Canonical Set is a duo with his former teenage bandmate John E. Banks; they live on opposite ends of the country but work remotely, sending tracks back and forth which Rick ultimately produces at home in D.C. The Empirical Brothers work similarly, except that Rick and fellow Brother Jay Feinstein, who lives in Massachusetts, have never met. They connected through a mutual admiration of each other’s music over Instagram, and their debut single “Doesn’t Feel Right Anymore” was released in October 2024.

You can find The Canonical Set’s music on Bandcamp and all the streaming services.
