Charlotte Hug (viola & electronics) and Jane Rigler (flute & electronics) join forces for the first time in New York City.
Charlotte Hug's music is textual and almost physical, as she combines the visual arts, dance and installations with her music. "My work with electronics has a strong influence on the way I play my instrument. I am intrigued by the potential of an extended range of sounds and playing techniques. With my soft bow technique, for instance, I have been able to produce between four and eight voices without the help of electronics. Wetting the bow with the water produces a whole other sonic spectrum, what I call my wetbow technique, while by twisting a bow's hairs to create the twistbow I can elicit sounds that are virtually identical to those produced electronically."
Jane Rigler plays her flute and voice to combine ancient non-Western traditions with her own unique sounds. Currently, she is using this with electronics, creating haunting soundscapes that implore the audience to imagine stories in real time.
