WAVLNGTH

An EP by myself & fellow Baltmore artist Trey RX. I handled the production while Trey handled the vocals & lyrics.

We came together to create a smooth & ethereal project that Trey initiated. Featuring additional vocals from Daja Alexander.

The mixing was done by Ryan "T.o.p.Secret" Anderson & the cover was shot by Lemary.

 

Pop-Up 1

An event I created in 2023 to provide the art & entertainment community in Baltimore the opportunity to get professional headshots while also networking with other individuals in the city. So far I have done 2 events & plan to do more in 2024

Pitch Bow

In 2016 I designed and built the Pitch Bow house in collaboration with interactive community based artist-run experimental art initiative New Orleans Airlift and musical tinkerer/engineer Ranjit Bhatnagar as part of a musical architecture project called the Music Box Village. The Pitch Bow was built using 80% reclaimed materials and includes musical floor boards & a door that functions like a slide guitar.

'Bug Box' 2022; Composition for animation short

A box full of bugs, snails and the fleeting childhood memories of summer. "Bug Box" is a multimedia installation by Kat Navarro which I am grateful to have done the music score for. My sibling and I often collaborate because their animation projects have to do a lot with childhood and memories. We have been close since childhood and share many moments and memories together. The music I had written for this installation is inspired by our childhood summers. We reminded ourselves as children running outside catching fireflies and poking at cicadas.

Solo Work/Commissioning

My work as a soloist is defined largely by my interest in and dedication to the world of new/contemporary classical music. My relationship to the interpretation of notated/composed music is borne of my classical training and my interest in creating new repertoire for the double bass, collaborating with other artists, and addressing issues of gender and racial representation in the field of classical music.

Wombat

Wombat is an improvising trio that combines deep sonic exploration through experimental playing techniques, live signal processing, and instrumental preparations with a real-time compositional approach, creating engaging structural shapes and contrasting sections. The relationships between the three of us are in constant flux: merging into a single sonic entity, building contrapuntal textures, or letting one performer lead the trio as a soloist. Improvisers Justin K. Comer (saxophones), Carlos Cotallo Solares (guitar/electronics), and Will Yager (double bass) formed Wombat in October 2017.

LIGAMENT

Described as “perverse and nihilistic”, Anika Kildegaard (voice) and Will Yager (double bass) perform as LIGAMENT, an ensemble dedicated to commissioning new music and creating 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).
