Anika Kildegaard (voice) and Will Yager (double bass) are LIGAMENT, an ensemble dedicated to commissioning new music and creating new work for their unique instrumentation. LIGAMENT’s performances are a fusion of standard and non-standard elements; sometimes there are high heels and sometimes there are electric toothbrushes (and sometimes both). The duo is equally at home with extended techniques as with extra-musical elements.
LIGAMENT means business: they’ve been ensemble fellows at New Music on the Point and Cortona Sessions for New Music; have performed in concert series iHearIC, FMWT, and the University of Iowa Center for New Music; have been tapped as the collaborating ensemble for dance performances, not I but that which works within me (Alyssa Gersony) and Struggle for Pleasure (Armando Duarte). They’ve premiered half a dozen new works from composers like Paul Novak, Ramin Roshandel, and Lila Meretzky, and will release an album of newly commissioned pieces in the spring of 2021.
