SPIRITUS

Using imagery and ideas from the physical and metaphysical cosmos, the artwork contrasts medieval theories with contemporary science on the origin of the universe. The sound draws inspiration from angelic motifs and instruments in illuminated manuscripts, blending these influences with modern music production. It includes specially arranged music by 12th-century abbess Hildegard von Bingen and additional chant arrangements, creating a rich fusion of past and present.
