Paranoid Android Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Not sure how liked she is around here but I thought I'd take this chance this was worth a new thread rather than just a post in the 2011 thread.This summer, Bjrk introduces Biophilia, an extraordinary immersive project and her most ambitious work to date. The multi-media endeavour encompasses her music, installations and live shows, and celebrating the use of modern technology by utilising the internet. The project aims to explore ideas like how sound works, the infinite expanse of the universe, from planetary systems to atomic structures.The world premiere of Bjrk's Biophilia live show will be held at Manchester International Festival for a three-week residency - across six intimate shows in the Campfield Market Hall for audiences of 1800, as her first UK dates in over three years. For these six special shows, Bjrk will be performing new tracks from the forthcoming Biophilia studio album as well as with a small group of unique musical collaborators. The show will feature a range of specially conceived and crafted instruments, among them a bespoke digitally-controlled pipe organ; a 30 foot pendulum that harnesses the earths 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.In a special collaboration with MIF, the Biophilia live show will travel to major cities around the world following the Manchester premiere. MIF will also be working with young people in Manchester to explore the musicological, scientific and technological ideas behind the project. In a series of educational workshops schoolchildren will be given the unique opportunity to experience the world of Biophilia first hand, and to immerse themselves in the endlessly rich and inspiring place where cutting edge technology, music and nature meet.

Alan Cynic Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 She's one of those folk I like in short bursts. I saw her way back when she was in Sugarcubes, and have had a few of her albums over the years, only to sell them again ( still have Post).

french_disko Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Downloaded the Biophilia app for my iPad but not had time to play with it yet. A cursory glance confirms that it is very Bjorklike & mad.I love Bjork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
