Isn’t life full of wild twists? Just when I thought our ‘90s Gregorian chant era was a relic of the past, something unbelievable happened. This month, my inbox got flooded with emails from a new generation down in Atlanta. These kids are crediting us with inspiring them, and it’s honestly been a trip to read their messages.
There’s this movement emerging called Gregorianwave. Yeah, you read that right. Picture this: hip hop beats, those atmospheric vibes from vaporwave, all layered with rich Gregorian chanting. And it’s taking over the South like wildfire.
Names like Friar Flow, Monkadelic, and Cathedral Kid have been dropping tracks that have the streets of Atlanta buzzing. Friar Flow’s beats are divine, blending ancient melodies with modern bass that hits you right in the soul. Monkadelic has been experimenting with synths, lending a trippy aura to the traditional chants. And Cathedral Kid? He’s taken the internet by storm, with his live streamed performances at historic sites around Atlanta, blending the old with the new in a way that’s both mesmerizing and electric.
But here’s the part that’s truly mind-blowing: because of this resurgence, I’ve been talking to Lydia and Julian, and guess what? Celestial Echoes is reforming! It feels like the universe is pulling us back to the stage, back to those magical notes that once defined our lives.
And the cherry on top? We’ve been given the honor of being the opening act for the return of The Cistercian Monks of St. Benedict’s. It’s like everything’s come full circle, and I’m buzzing with anticipation. The chant revolution might have begun in the ‘90s, but its echoes? They’re far from over. Let’s get ready to make history… again.
