Sound Recording: Jon Hart

Hildegard: Visions

I am making a large scale operatic retreat. It will be radically accessible.
It will be a chance to experience the spirit of Hildegard as filtered through my position as a neurodivergent Afrofuturist - a woman of my age.
It will be a ritual experience based on the aforementioned death ritual.
It will be a transformational experience.
It will be a multisensory feast full of song, touch, taste, smell and movement.


Extreme Unction Vol. 1: A piece for 8 loudspeakers, 3 singers, 2 bodies and water. Recorded at Snape Maltings, Feb 2020. Nwando Ebizie feat. Cevanne Horrocks-Hopayian, Lore Lixenberg, Yfat Soul Zisso and Wennefer.


Extreme Unction Vol 1 forms a part of my ongoing neurophenomenological explorations whilst moving more into ideas around Biophilia and sensory design. It is a piece inspired by Medieval Anchorite death rituals (indeed the one Hildegard probably went through herself) and the purification elements common to many religious rituals. It contains fragments of Hildegard's Favus Distilans as well as field recordings taken from a makeshift Hamam, a kayak journey and much washing of our bodies. I hope that as you listen to it, you lie or sit in a relaxed posture. Maybe choose a relaxing scent to permeate the air around you. This is an invitation to descend into an alternate reality both sacred and profane. Many thanks to sound engineer Jon Hart and Mahogany Opera who supported the residency.
