This multi-track piece for piccolos (all acoustic) is from my album, Rarefactions (Neuma 2015.) Jane Rigler, piccolos

Multiverse

Mukta in Sanskrit means "one who is liberated". This solo piccolo piece was created with multiple microphones to capture the natural movement of the air, vocal resonances and fingering patterns flowing through the flute. The microphones, in a sense, try to catch the sounds and secret languages as they transform through the flute and are released into the air. This track  by Jane Rigler was released on the album "Rarefactions" by Neuma ©2015

Mukta

In collaboration with Thomas Ciufo on interactive electronics that captures my performance, this is our premiere performance at Third Practice Electroacoustic Music Festival, 2014.

Cancion De Cuna

“Spain possesses joyous songs, jokes, jests … Why then has Spain reserved the most potent songs of blood to lull its children to sleep, those least suited to their delicate sensibilities?” ~Federico García Lorca
So many lullabies found around the world are in fact, creepy, macabre and downright scary. This sweetly forbidding lullaby marries two works, "My Heavenly Garden Flower" (a Persian Lullaby) with another by Federico García Lorca...along with some live and pre-recorded electronics, all created by Jane Rigler (flutes)and Haleh Abghari (voice). This was a live performance on Sept. 30th, 2017, at UCCS in Colorado Springs.

Federico's Sleepless Lullaby

Jane Rigler on piccolo, voice and live electronics & Agustí Fernández on prepared piano and  recorded in Barcelona, 2015. The title is taken from a line in Jorge Luis Borges' poem, "Laberinto," and roughly translates to "in the black twilight." In this work, the metallicized prepared piano and electronic piccolo generate an incessant dialogue of wonder.

en el negro crepúsculo

Jane Rigler, flute and Agustí Fernández, piano. Recorded in Barcelona, 2015. The title is taken from a line in Jorge Luis Borges' poem, "Laberinto," and roughly translates to "the endless tangle of interwoven stone." This work may require listening with headphones or speakers. In this complicated gesturally informed piece, the plucking of the prepared strings, the flute, the voice result in an unrelenting web of hope.

la maraña de interminable piedra entretejida

This is a compilation of two text scores by Pauline Oliveros: The Tuning Meditation and Rhythms, which I guided the students, faculty and public at the end of my solo concert at California State University Monterey Bay in March 2017. Listening through the space-time continuum...with Pauline...
