How Jason Rigby Launched MAYHEM With a Fully Organic Social Strategy

Founder & Director of Photography
Tenor saxophonist and composer Jason Rigby returned in 2024 with MAYHEM, a bold and deeply textured collaboration with drummer and producer Mark Guiliana. Blending hypnotic grooves, electronic influence, and improvisational depth, the album marks one of Rigbys most adventurous statements to date and quickly earned critical recognition, including placement on Bandcamps Best Jazz on Bandcamp: August 2025.
Restarting a Digital Presence from the Ground Up

Before we began working together, Jason’s Instagram presence had grown quiet. For an artist with more than two decades of creative output—including multiple solo albums, long-running collaborations, and major large-ensemble work—there was a rich history and artistic identity that wasn’t being reflected online.

Missing Frequencies stepped in to help rebuild the foundation.

Together, we shaped an approach rooted in:

  • Archival footage from past performances

  • Studio moments from the MAYHEM sessions

  • Unreleased photographs

  • Clips that spotlighted the band’s interplay, sonic palette, and improvisational energy

  • Short-form performance snippets from live appearances and rehearsal rooms

The goal wasn’t to “chase the algorithm.” It was to reintroduce Jason Rigby to the digital world, letting the depth of his artistry lead the way.

Organic Growth Through Artist-Centered Storytelling

Instead of heavy production, we focused on consistency, clarity, and intention—posting content that highlighted who Jason is: a searching musician, a thoughtful improviser, and a collaborator with some of the most respected players in modern creative music.

We created a rhythm of:

  • Behind-the-scenes insights

  • Short, digestible performance clips

  • Archival videos highlighting his history in the NYC scene

  • Teasers that gradually guided followers toward the release of MAYHEM

This kind of organic strategy is slow by design—but powerful. It builds trust, visibility, and emotional buy-in, especially for artists whose audiences value musicianship, long-form listening, and craft.

And it worked.

As Jason posted regularly, engagement grew. Followers returned. New listeners discovered him. Clips were shared. The page regained momentum just as his new album approached.

No paid ads. No inorganic growth tactics. Just art-first content delivered consistently.

Showcasing MAYHEM the Right Way

When the album finally dropped, the groundwork was already in place. Followers had seen fragments of the sound world, glimpses of the players, and hints of what the record might hold. They weren’t just observing; they were anticipating.

The JazzTimes review captured the essence of the project:

“A sprawling, hypnotic, and boldly textured work that rewards repeat listening.”

Through thoughtful organic rollout, that message carried naturally into Jason’s audience.

Performance clips, studio footage, and archival material brought MAYHEM to life on social platforms—mirroring the album’s rawness and unpredictability.

Jason’s page wasn’t simply promoting a release. It was becoming a living archive of his musical identity.

Why Organic Strategy Matters for Artists Like Jason

Artists working in jazz, improvisation, and experimental music exist outside the high-volume churn of mainstream social media. Their audiences respond to:

  • authenticity,

  • detail,

  • craftsmanship, and

  • emotional resonance.

An all-organic strategy keeps the focus on the music, not the metrics. It builds community instead of clicks. And it creates a sustainable foundation that can grow over time, aligned with the artist’s actual values.

For Jason Rigby, it provided exactly what he needed:
A revitalized digital presence and a powerful, human-centered way to introduce MAYHEM to the world.

Looking Ahead

Our partnership with Jason is ongoing. The next phase includes:

  • live performance content

  • long-form interview clips

  • deeper dives into his past releases

  • and continued storytelling around the group behind MAYHEM

The goal remains the same: grow naturally, communicate honestly, and let the music lead.

For an artist like Jason Rigby, that’s not just strategy—it’s alignment.

Why Every Jazz Artist Should Film Their Recording Session
Lessons from Ron Blake’s SCRATCH Band

When Ron Blake brought SCRATCH Band (with Reuben Rogers and John Hadfield) into The Cutting Room to record, Missing Frequencies was there to capture more than music—we captured story, energy, and identity. The album went on to become one of DownBeat Magazine’s Top Albums of 2025, and the visuals played a crucial role in amplifying its reach. Here's how—and why it matters for every artist.

Ines Velasco: A Flash of Cobalt Blue Album Release Strategy

When composer and drummer Ines Velasco prepared to release her debut big-band album A Flash of Cobalt Blue on June 6, 2025, she already had a powerful foundation: a successful Kickstarter campaign that exceeded its goal and a deeply personal artistic vision inspired by the poetry of Jorge Esquinca. The album blends contemporary jazz with literary influence, featuring lush arrangements, a 17-piece ensemble, and spoken-word passages recorded in Guadalajara. That essential background set the stage — but the rollout would determine how the project reached listeners.

Why Filming Your Studio Session Matters
Behind the Scenes with Altin Sencalar

When trombonist Altin Sencalar stepped into Acoustic Recording in Brooklyn to track his 2025 release Unleashed, he wasn’t just making an album—he was documenting a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution. Unleashed captures a bold, inventive voice in jazz, one grounded in heritage, lyrical aggression, and ensemble chemistry. But the recording session itself—those creative decisions, spontaneous moments, and collective energy—is equally important to preserve. With Missing Frequencies behind the camera, Altin’s studio work became more than a set of audio files; it became a visual archive of creative process, musical risk-taking, and real human interaction. That footage isn’t an optional extra—today, it’s essential.

How Alternative Guitar Summit Grew 3.2K+ Subscribers in One Year
How smart optimization and consistent strategy delivered massive channel growth.

Digital content success isn’t driven by luck — it’s driven by strategy. When Alternative Guitar Summit (AGS) partnered with Missing Frequencies Creative Studio in January 2025, their goal was simple: expand their reach, showcase world-class guitarists, and build a YouTube channel that reflected the artistic depth of their programming. What followed was a year of targeted content management, optimized workflows, and analytics-driven decisions that grew the channel to 315,294 views, 24,200 hours of watch time, and 3,200 new subscribers — all in 12 months. Missing Frequencies didn’t just upload videos. We shaped the channel’s structure, refined the viewer experience, managed a consistent publishing pipeline, and built a data-backed content strategy that elevated AGS from a niche archive into a thriving hub for the global guitar community.
