FJ: “Nebula” – Julianna Barwick

Have you heard of her? I was recently introduced to her work by chance during a late drive back to Maine from a dinner in Boston with my father in law. The local NPR affiliate plays interesting shows in the later hours – mostly “underground” music – and I was able to catch a show called Echoes on which Julianna Barwick performed live. I was absolutely stunned. Her voice is beautiful and, as the host pointed out, her compositions remind one of the work of Hildegard von Bingen. Julianna mentioned in passing that she was raised within traditions of spiritual and religious music. It shows.

Enjoy.
