Hildegard Von Bingen x Electronics: Wind Takes Flight – Julia Sinclair

Wind Takes Flight began with a simple yet powerful idea: to reimagine the music of Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th-century mystic and composer, through the lens of modern electronic soundscapes. The title, drawn from one of Hildegard’s sacred poems featured on the album, also reflects her love of birds and the natural world. These have been enduring sources of inspiration for us throughout this creative journey. As collaborators, we, – Julia Sinclair, an English soprano soloist, and Marijn Cinjee, a Dutch electronic musician – were drawn to the timeless spirituality and beauty of Hildegard’s work. The idea of bringing together our two musical worlds to create something new and transformative felt both exciting and inevitable.
