LIGAMENT presents a program of new works for voice and double bass which explores the vast sonic worlds made possible by this duo’s unique instrumentation.
Featured on this performance is Nick Bentz’s please continue, which examines the relationship between psychedelics and American culture by setting drug trip reports from the turn of the century alongside words from John Erlichman, Nixon’s policy advisor, and electronic manipulation of presidential speeches from the Nixon administration to the present.
In comparison, Ruby Fulton’s and if not, why not reveals the isolating effects of interstate migration on new mothers in early 20th-century America.
The surprising combination of double bass and voice brings a new and exciting world of sound to the pressing and political pieces on this program.
Anika Kirkegaard, soprano
Will Yager, bass
