Hildegard^FR/QC+CA/QC

A balance of creative contrasts that reform into what’s wholly its own, Ouri and Helena Deeland’s collaborative project recalls the multitudes of Hildegard of Bingen–abbess, mystic, composer, writer, scholar, polymath, philosopher–embodied within a singularity. Ouri’s own pluralities as a DJ, electronic producer, and classically-trained musician influence her shape-shifting relationships with melody and bass, all the while Deland’s experimental approach to songwriting ranges in indie genres with no discernible pattern, as memories that ever-change through the present in which they are called on. The two as one and their individual embrace for transformation provide for an innate creative connection, where the meeting place sounds something like dusk or dawn, and finds freedom in sensuality and hysteria, duality and multiplicity. Hildegard make their MUTEK debut this fall following the recent release of their self-titled debut album.
