About
Rosemary Standley has an immediately identifiable voice, revealed as part of the group Moriarty. Dom La Nena provides the hushed swaying of the bow across her cello strings and Latin counter-melodies.
Their repertoire ranges from the late Middle Ages to French chansons, from Brazilian bossa nova to pop-rock hits: they strip them of convention, cover them with feathered wings, and embody them like their own intimate memories. Whether obscure tunes or legendary tracks, they reinvent them with a magic touch in chiaroscuro, offering a delicate or mischievous coup de grâce that naturally commands our attention.
