One Little Independent

i am so thrilled to share the film for my concert cornucopia with you .<br/>this has been a long journey with hundreds of people helping out . i am so beyond enormously grateful to every single one of them . <br/> <br/>i feel the modern concert film is a matriarchially friendly construct , welcomed in the current climate . where female musicians can share their worlds uncorrupted . in cornucopia , i was joined by musical director and multi instrumentalist bergur þórisson , percussionist manu delago , flute septet Viibra , harpist katie buckley and the hamrahlid choir .<br/> <br/>i spent last decade working with 360-degree sound and visual software in virtual reality and animation, creating Biophilia and later Vulnicura as a VR album . i was deeply inspired by the idea of a fully-immersive experience spreading Utopia and Fossora into fully surround speakers . my intention was to bring what we had created for 21st-century VR into a 19th-century theatre - taking it from the headset to the stage .<br/> <br/>this vision was realised with 27 moving curtains that captured projections on different textures and LED screens , creating a digitally animated show : a "modern lanterna magica" for live music . i also wanted to feature bespoke instruments: a magnetic harp , an aluphone , a circular flute , and a reverb chamber , specially built with an audio architect to enhance the most intimate version of a performance-in a personal chapel .<br/> <br/>throughout this tale, there is a subplot woven in : a second story of an avatar-a modern marionette who alchemically mutates , from puppet to puppet , from the injury of a heart wound to a fully healed state .<br/>i hope you enjoy it .<br/>warmness ,<br/>björk
