One can only speak about the unspeakable in an unknown language – that’s why German mystic Hildegard von Bingen created the language “Lingua Ignota”. That’s also the moniker of US American singer and producer Kristin Hayter: Her concerts are liturgies, exorcisms; she summons and expels the very ghosts of traumas that shaped her life. She sings with her classically trained voice to sublime organ melodies and menacing noise, blending her whitened body with misogynistic porn smut. Sinner Get Ready is the name of her latest album, and the sinners who should get ready are the others as well as herself.
