Inner Temple - Christina McMaster & Tom Middelton Inspired by Hildegard Von Bingen Christina McMaster 2023-04-18 | Welcome to Inner Temple - a sonic journey performed by Christina McMaster on piano, Tom Middleton - electronics and David Cole as our meditative guide. Be immersed in the sound of ‘Inner Temple’ . Feel the vibrations through your body as you lie down and listen …This performance for piano, electronic and nature soundscapes, with meditation guide is a 360’ immersive sonic journey of new and improvised music inspired by 12th century Priestess, plant medicine healer, eco-activist and sonic visionary Hildegard Von Bingen. Hildegard’s vision and painting ‘The Universe’ influenced our music. It’s a vision of pure creation, the four elements and their meaning. The vision doesn’t deny the darkness, but leans right into the core of it, embracing its contrast with the light as an essential part in the process of creation.Almost every electronic sound originates from the piano and even the soft rain sound is sourced from Bingen itself where Hildegard lived. First performed at Kings Place, London in March 2023. During this live performance the sound was experienced in surround as a lying down concert moving through 50 speakers provided by D&B audio.Performed by Christina McMaster on piano, Tom Middleton - electronic and nature soundscapes and Hildegard von Bingen expert David Cole as our meditative guide. Here is the map of our sonic journey…. Part 1 Meditation for opening to a new visionPart 1B Inside the Fire Part 2 PurityPart 2B “and I heard a heavenly voice speak to me” Part 3 Cloud of secret mystery Part 4 Divine Power Part 5 SerenenessPart 6 BrightnessPart 7 Soft Caressing Rain Part 8 Antiphon of Divine LoveInner Temple is generously supported by Help Musicians UK.More performances coming soon for this - so keep an eye out.
