Björk to Release Film Soundtrack in July
Björk's music for the movie centers around the sho, an ancient Japanese instrument with 17 different reeds. She also, carrying on in the a cappella vein of her previous album Medulla, has turned to Noh theater scholars for help with a Noh voice technique that her webpage describes as "growling." Production help will come from several electronic musicians, including Mark Bell of LFO. We'd love to promise that we'll have more details for you later, but considering the penchant for avant-garde art that Björk and her partner Barney share (his last major film, Cremaster 3, involved the Freemasons, the Chrysler Building, and undead horses; it runs a full three hours), we're probably lucky just to have a tracklist:
01 Gratitute
02 Pearl
03 Ambergris March
04 Bath
05 Hunter Vessel
06 Shimenawa
07 Vessel Shimenawa
08 Storm
09 Holographic Entrypoint
10 Cetacea
11 Antarctic Return
