Text by Neuma Records:

"Rarefactions, a collection of original compositions and improvisations by highly respected, contemporary flutist Jane Rigler, showcases her unique and moving conception of instrumental and electroacoustic music. Rigler’s extraordinary instrumental technical skill allows her to produce distinctive sounds, which, in turn, create incredibly rich and nuanced colors and textures—often ones that are not associated with the flute. Rigler wants the listener to hear what she hears when she plays. In some works, she places an array of microphones along the length of a flute to capture air as it swirls through the tube. Through instrumental and electronic manipulation in the recording studio, Rigler creates the sense of soundwaves being opened up so the listener can hear what is inside them while in their state of rarefaction. Rigler conveys this attention to detail to a broader formal context in her collaborations with world-renowned improvisers Janet Feder, Shoko Nagai, and Satoshi Takeishi. Here Rigler builds compositional frames resulting from the improvisational process to produce unexpected musical trajectories. She interacts with these moments not only as part of the ensemble but as an insightful composer. She transforms and reorganizes many of the recorded improvisations so that normally fleeting sonic moments surface as primary materials. In her inimitable way, Rigler creates mesmerizing acoustic and electroacoustic works. This album, Rigler’s debut as a composer, provides a glimpse into the fascinating sonic and collaborative world of a truly original artist. Celebrated flutist Robert Dick discusses the importance of Rigler’s music in his characteristically lively manner as the author of the album’s liner notes. "
