Those who are familiar with Fifty Shades of Grey know about Christian Grey’s “playroom” and the background music for the scenes from the novel. The book, which came out in 2012, created more than half a million fans for a Renaissance motet, Spem in alium by Thomas Tallis, the surging tones of which stir the erotic fantasies of more than just the hero of the novel. This ne plus ultra of spatial sound is normally performed with 40 singers - at the Mausoleum in Graz, however, with two voices only: countertenor Terry Wey and bass Ulfried Staber. The performance lasts for eight hours. Sound engineer Markus Wallner creates a multiple voice effect which resonates throughout the hall.
