- Soprano Annelies Van Gramberen and singer-songwriter Sim Van Thienen bring together classical and contemporary music to create something new.
- Although centuries separate Dowland and Drake, their melancholy and vulnerability converge on this album.
- Loops, electronics and guitars create a layered soundscape that blends with the voice of the singer.
D O W L N D R A K E merges the worlds of soprano Annelies Van Gramberen and singer-songwriter Sim Van Thienen to create a bold sonic universe. Together, they weave the melancholic songs of the English troubadours John Dowland (1563–1626) and Nick Drake (1948–1974) into a layered tapestry of loops, electronics, and guitars, with Annelies’ voice as a shining guide through the shadowy paths of the human soul.
