LOEWE | Thomas Tallis’ Spem in Alium

Adam Bainbridge, aka KINDNESS, the British Asian music producer, radio host and educator based in London was commissioned by Jonathan Anderson to direct an interpretation of Thomas Tallis’ Spem in Alium, the complex motet for forty voices which is intended as a soundtrack to the LOEWE Spring Summer 2021 Show-on-the-Wall. An existing recording from The Tallis Scholars, the award-winning, leading ensemble in Renaissance polyphony, has been mixed with contributions from KINDNESS, American composer and vocalist Hanna Benn, French-Malagasy pianist and composer Mathis Picard, Swedish songwriter DJ and performer Robyn and jazz vocalist Vuyo Sotashe. A layered piece of ancient music gains further sonic layers, turning into an aural translation of LOEWE’s prismatic identity. A huge thank you to all of the artists and video directors who made this possible.
