Vilde&Inga
Vilde Sandve Alnæs - Violin
Inga Margrethe Aas - Acoustic bass
After playing together for more than a decade, describing Vilde&Inga’s music as “free improvised” might be an oversimplification. Ornette Coleman said “what’s exciting is the memory you bring to the present”. This is central to how Vilde&Inga’s music is created: Always free from any pre-planned structures, yet with a dense memory-texture of shared musical explorations and moments shaping the sounding present.
By exploring nontraditional approaches to the violin and double bass, the duo has greatly expanded their timbre palette. The wide horizons of color allow the music to develop slowly and organically. Some people hear birds, and some squeaking and brushing — others enter a ruin of classical music where they encounter a forest elf playing blues.
Vilde Sandve Alnæs and Inga Margrete Aas met during studies in Oslo in 2010. Since then they have toured regularly in Norway and internationally. In 2020 the double album How Forests Think was released on SOFA. The album was made in collaboration with the French sound technician and artist Benjamin Maumus and consists of improvisations and compositions recorded in four very different locations, both outside and inside, in the Oslo area. Their first album, Makrofauna, was released on ECM in 2014, and Silfr on the Norwegian label SOFA in 2017.

Eva Pfitzenmaier
Born and raised in the south of Germany, she studied voice and improvisation at the conservatory of Amsterdam (2002-2006) and is based in Bergen since 2008.
Her current works include commissions for different ensembles and musicians, collaborations with choreographers and visual artists, the production of her own performances, and the solo project By The Waterhole, with which she has toured in Europe, the USA, and Japan.
Eva’s music draws inspiration from contemporary, electronic, and popular music as well as traditional music from all around the world. In her work, she explores how different artistic expressions can be combined in order to create a holistic experience of art and tries to find those short moments of instability and vulnerability which reflect the human condition.
By The Waterhole is Eva’s solo project. Usually it is a one-woman-band in which Eva accompanies herself with processed keyboard, a loop station and effect pedals:
contemporary singer-songwriter meets electronica meets blues meets spoken word.
