Aural Spaces – Marijn & Julia present Wind takes Flight in 4DSOUND (live)

Marijn & Julia

Marijn & Julia is the collaborative project of Dutch sound artist Marijn Cinjee and English soprano Julia Sinclair. Marijn Cinjee's work pursues immersive audiovisual experiences that both amaze and excite. He does not try to dictate what people should feel when encountering his work; the aim is to evoke emotions and sensations from within. His forward-thinking mindset forms a special fusion with Sinclair's awe-inspiring voice, grounded in centuries-old tradition. Julia Sinclair has sung in many professional church choirs, including St Magnus the Martyr, London Bridge and St Bride's, Fleet Street, and is a member of the Consort Choir at the Edinburgh Music Festival.

This exciting fusion of history and the contemporary also returns during Aural Spaces, where Marijn & Julia perform the album project Wind takes Flight . A meeting between the 12th century singing of Hildegard von Bingen and modern electronics, performed with the dynamic 4DS sound. The sharp contrast between classical singing with modern elements and technologies wonderfully emphasizes the timeless beauty of the human voice through the ages.

Created in collaboration with the Richard Thomas Foundation.

Aural Spaces

This concert is part of the Aural Spaces festival. From 12 to 15 December, a new dimension will be added to the live music experience in the Small Hall of the Concertgebouw. The familiar red plush chairs will make way for a 4DSOUND installation, consisting of 13 pillars with 41 speakers. Classical acoustic methods will be combined with the modern technology of 4DSOUND, further expanding the possibilities of sound experience.

Aural Spaces explores the boundaries between sound and space, blurring and merging them. The result is a completely immersive listening experience like you'll rarely experience. Discover and experience how music moves through space!
