Björk Releases “Biophilia” Remix CD
For her “Biophilia” project, Björk collaborated with app developers, scientists, writers, inventors, musicians, and instrument-makers to create a multimedia exploration of the universe and its physical forces – particularly those where music, nature and technology meet. There were live shows (I saw one of them in Queens, NY), educational projects, an album and a series of 10 apps – plus a bunch of remixes, released in an eight-part series earlier this year. Now there’s “bastards,” a collection of the mixes picked by Björk herself, involving the talent of acts she loves – including Current Value, Death Grips, Hudson Mohawke, Alva Noto, Matthew Herbert, Omar Souleyman, 16-bit, These New Puritans, and the Slips. Listen to some of them here.
