Sala B is a musical project inspired by a recent near-death experience I had consisting of several weeks in intensive care, two operations and thirty months of therapy. The doctors and physicians all considered my condition terminal and have said that is a miracle that I survived.
Sala B is divided into three segments published individually on EPs, each symbolizing the three majors aspects of the experience.
Rupture is the first of the three representing the events leading up to my arrival in the hospital emergency room.

Lo so, è stupido, ma da quando la Chew-Z oltre ad avere le netrelease in download gratuito sul sito rende disponibili le stampe, con tanto di copertina extralusso e grafica, sul CD mi sembra che abbia fatto un gran passo in avanti. Se al nuovo formato delle uscite aggiungete che si tratta anche di gente come Paul Beauchamp o altri, credo che la dica lunga su quanto la lebel a quanto pare non sia fatta così tanto per darsi un tono. Beauchamp ricorda fin dalla grafica la sua appartenenza al giro dei al Larsen ma soprattutto Blind Cave Salamander etc., anche se poi musicalmente si tratta di tutt'altra roba.
Sala B: Rupture infatti è un disco ambient elettronico a tutti gli effetti, drones morbidi talvolta tagliati da suoni acuti digitali, oppure tappeti simil tastiera ma senza mai essere kitsch o prog-kraut dei poveri (per non dire new age). Si tratta di un disco scolastico e molto semplice, ma allo stesso tempo di un lavoro molto efficace, in cui Beauchamp ricorda che a volte basta poco per far fare un viaggio e che ci sono drones e drones. Questi ventotto minuti scarsi di suoni eterei mi hanno ricordato alcune vecchie cose del giro Kranky ed in particolar modo gli Stars Of The Lid dei primi tempi, solo leggermente più asciutti. l'unica traccia che forse si discosta un po' dal resto del lavoro è la conclusiva Gullinkambi dove il torinese acquisito va sul glaciale soprattutto per ciò che concerne il finale. Un lavoro semplice ma ben fatto.

Originally from the Piedmont Region of North Carolina at the base of the Appalachian Mountains (Winston-Salem to be exact), now living in the Piemonte Region of Northern Italy at the base of the Alps (Turin to be exact), Paul Beauchamp has been an active experimental musician since 1993.
Focusing principally on drones, loops, soundscapes and atmospheres Paul Beauchamp has experimented in many styles of music and sound with several diverse projects ranging from the sound/art group Diviner to industrial/tribal/noise outfit Sikhara to current electro/acoustic/ambient collaboration Blind Cave Salamander with Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo(Larsen) as well as a new distorted-opera/pop project with Palumbo, Ernesto Tomassini and Evor (of NG) temporarily titled Canes Venatici. This is all in addition, of course, to the solo work of Paul Beauchamp which has ranged in style from dark ambient to intrspectively melodic.
Paul Beauchamp's works have been produced and exhibited both live in such places as the historic Teatro Juvarra in Turin and in extreme locales such as Reykjavik, Iceland as well as on cd published by such labels as PREcordings of Rome and Chew-Z of Turin. Active also in the art scene, Paul Beauchamp has also produced site-specific sound installations for the Nietszche Fabrik of Turin as part of the World Design Capital Festival of 2008 and the P4 Temporary Gallery as part of the [Design] Crisis Exhibition of the Milano Design Week 2009.
Paul Beauchamp has also had the distinct honor and pleasure to collobarate both on stage and in the studio with many illustrious and talented artists including but not limited to: Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Larsen, (r)), Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound, ICR Distribution), Steve Stapleton (Nurse With Wound), Michael Begg (Fovea Hex, Human Greed), Julia Kent (Anthony and the Johnsons), Clodagh Simonds (Fovea Hex), Jochen Arbeit (Arbeit, Einsturzende Neubauten), Ernesto Tomassini, Andrew Liles (Nurse With Wound), Kamil Kruta (Koonda Holaa and the Beethcees), Paul Wallfisch (Little Annie, Botanica), Marco Milanesio (9cento9, DsOrdne), Bruno Dorella (Ovo, Ronin), Stefania Pedretti (Ovo), Scott Nydegger (Sikhara), Steve Mackay (The Stooges), Marco "Il Bue" Schiavo (Larsen), Lydia Lunch, Massimo and Pierce (Coil, Black Sun Productions), Ango Visone (Mariae Nascenti), Matt Howden (Seiben, Sol Invictus), Laura Seeran (Fovea Hex), Cora Venus Lenny (Fovea Hex), John Wiese (Bastard Noise) among many others.
