BJÖRK’S CORNUCOPIA BOOK RELEASE
I’m proud to announce the release of Cornucopia: The Book. This book documents my five-year tour, Cornucopia, designed by M/M Paris, with images shot by photographer Santiago Felipe.
Before this tour, I spent a decade working with 360-degree sound and visual software in virtual reality and animation, creating Biophilia, the first app album, and later Vulnicura as a VR album. I was deeply inspired by the idea of a fully-immersive experience, spending a spring in an Icelandic lighthouse, spreading Utopia 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.
This vision was realized 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.
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.
I hope you enjoy it.
Warmthness,
Björk

dear friends
i am so excited to invite you to echolalia may to september .
i am so grateful and thrilled for your incredible reaction to the rave , me and alejandra and others are having at the eclipse this summer .
i saw all your comments and wanted to massage out a potential misunderstanding that has been floating around :
echolalia is not the title of my next album . it is an umbrella-exhibition-name .
an umbrella that gives 2 of my fossora songs the treatment i always dreamed of , and some new music .
i always wanted to put “ancestress” and “sorrowful soil” into a room , spatial situation ? those songs didn´t seem like live songs , the kind best experienced in private with many speakers .
and with andy huang´s and viðar logi´s visuals of course . we re-recorded the choir and have textile scores to be enjoyed too .
i will share a version of a new song in one of the rooms .
visually , it is a collaboration with 2 new incredible artists , which i will share later .
but i want to be sincere with my fans ( who are all of course delicious music-nerds ) about the musical side of things :
the new music is a version of a song . the final version will be on the new album in 2027 .
before you buy your tickets , i want to make sure that you know that i will not be sharing the final instrumentation of my next album until next year .
i know it is a long time , but 5 years passed between my last 2 albums and i enjoyed that enormously , i seem to spend longer every time in the world-building and it is extremely satisfying to align all the different elements ( how equilibrian of me ! )
i think that as hosts , me and james have a lot to offer . his mask exhibition looks sublime !
we reprogrammed and updated vulnicura VR which looks finally what we wanted it to be which we will share here .
and then of course : it is the rave ! with arca , ronja , sideproject and more ...
i absolutely can´t wait
warmthness and love
björk
