Eternal July :: Marijn Cinjee & Julia Sinclair :: House on the Strand

A collaboration between Julia Sinclair, an English soprano soloist, and Marijn Cinjee, a Dutch electronic musician, began with a single idea: to reimagine the music of Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th-century German abbess, mystic and composer, through the lens of modern electronic soundscapes. ‘Wind Takes Flight’ is an album that creates a conversation across time – beginning with Hildegard’s chants and evolving into a love letter to her music, merging her sacred compositions with contemporary sound design while remaining true to the spirituality of her music. As the artists explain, the title is drawn from one of Hildegard’s sacred poems featured on the album, reflecting her love of birds and the natural world.
