Bjork: Biophilia


Bjork has announced a series of summer concert dates in anticipation of the release of her new album Biophilia. Still no word on a release date or tracklist, but apparently the album is also a "multi-media project encompassing music, apps, internet, installations and live shows". Her live show is set to feature "a bespoke digitally-controlled pipe organ; a 30 foot pendulum that harnesses the earth's gravitational pull to create musical patterns-- creating a unique bridge between the ancient and the modern; a bespoke gamelan-celeste hybrid; and a one-off extraordinary pin barrel harp." Sounds perfectly Bjorkian.

Below is a track (rumored to be from the Biophilia sessions) that was appended to a new iPad app at the beginning of the year. Apparently Bjork's obsession with brass instrumentation has not ceased.
