Design Storytelling

Hot damn - how I am looking forward to Bjork’s new album Biophilia. Gutted to miss out on the Manchester Festival shows. Thanks to @proteinfeed for the reminder of this upcoming excitement.

In a collaborative project with Apple, digital artist Scott Snibble and directed by Michel Gondy, the album will be breaking new ground when it’s released at the end of this month as a series of iPad apps. Each app will be specifically designed for the single from the full studio album and will have interactive visuals where users can remix the recorded tracks.

In a recorded statement, on her newly designed website, the artist describes how she sees the new multimedia project as ‘a continuation of Volta, whereas where Volta is about anthropology, this is kind of without the humans.’ She goes on to describe how cosmology and ‘the physics of sound’ are a key source of inspiration for the album.

Hell yes, that Bjork is one talented, creative, smart lady. My hero.
