Release Notes:
Bardo State tells the story like you have never heard it
before. Their debut album Mariposa beholds a rare synthesis of
classical & pop, an exquisite intersection between ambient &
opera. Bardo State is a world filled with emotional
compositions and passionate arrangements that will appeal to
audiences of all cultures & ages.
The duo Wijn & Broekhuyse have been associated with classical
music since their younger days. Frank Wijn is the son of a
famous Dutch concert pianist, Dorian Broekhuyse is a
conservatory graduate with a background in dance music. Being
raised on musical influences such as Satie, Ravel & Saint
Saëns, the Dutch twosome also are inspired by contemporary
composers like Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass. Out of a strong
need to make classical music more accessible, they founded
Bardo State in 2003.
As a whole, Mariposa reflects the untouchable space between
chill & classical. An atmosphere that delicately fuses soulful
melodies with modern electronica, effortlessly crosses
hypnotic vocals with acoustic strings. Timeless soundscapes
and dreamy epic grooves, the luscious orchestral songs are
perfectly complemented by the heavenly voices of Jo Lemaire,
Carmen van den Brakel and Kevin Mark Trail.
Mariposa is an intense spiritual excursion that is fueledby
inspiration & mystery. It is a sound that will transform &
inspire the listener for years to come.
And the word is out. Numerous compilations & film scores have
been leaning heavily on Bardo State. They already had their
classic Buddha Bar moment, as the beautiful Sospiro was
selected as the opening track for Volume 9.
BARDO STATE's track "Kosovo" has been chosen as soundtrack for the leading
scene in the highly acclaimed Hollywood production Jekyll & Hyde the Movie.
