La Grande Bellezza

Great beauty

Tenebrae es un coro de cámara profesional, fundado y dirigido por Nigel Short. A menudo, por medio  de la realización con las velas, el coro crea un ambiente de reflexión espiritual y musical, donde se entremezclan el canto medieval y renacentista con obras de arte contemporáneo. El equipo cuidadosamente seleccionado de cantantes utiliza la atmósfera y la acústica del edificio para permitir a la audiencia  experimentar el poder y la intimidad de la voz humana en su mejor momento.

Los cantantes se han extraído de destacados antecedentes musicales – King’s College de Cambridge, la Abadía de Westminster y la catedral, la Catedral de San Pablo, La Royal Opera House Covent Garden y la Ópera Nacional de Inglés – para crear una mezcla única vocal con una extraordinaria gama de potencia vocal y color. Nace del deseo Nigel Short reunir a lo que él más amaba en su propia carrera como cantante, el sonido apasionado de los grandes coros de la Catedral y la precisión de conjuntos como The King’s Singers – para crear un nuevo tipo de agrupación coral.

Returning to Beats in Space after their debut 12" (and the label's debut release) in the fall of 2011, Paradis offers "Hémisphère" and "Je m'ennuie", another pair of sophisticatedly crafted, noir-pop songs from the young Parisian duo. 

On the two tracks of their second 12", Paradis self-reflect to find an escape hatch away from themselves. The A-Side, "Hémisphère", a macabre story of a lonely guest of life determined to leave everything behind, defies the narrative's convention and captivates with pop melodies and up beats abound. 

On the B-Side, "Je M'ennuie", lovers settle into late-night melancholic routines soundtracked by a brooding bass line, an achingly affective synth lead, and vocals that grin behind the disaffected front. Ultimately, hope prevails as both tracks beg the listener to leave their headphones behind for the global village's dance floor. From Paris to Cologne, from Buenos Aires to New York, in the words of Michel Polnareff, "On ira tous au Paradis." 

Each 12" from Beats in Space features original artwork in considerate & serial form. The first 12" features artwork by Denise Kupferschmidt, a Brooklyn-based artist finding inner / outer space in the movement of line and assemblage of color. The 12" packaging constructed by Will Work For Good features a vinyl BIS logo cling. The 12" will be available on May 22nd, 2012 from fine retailers worldwide. The digital version will be available May 29th, 2012 from the drab internet universe.
