Bjork - Vespertine live (2004) ]

forgive the google translate... via It is no misogynist, but in truth that women were not given a lot of this wonderful music, and before I claim tell me: where is the integral in the Beatles? King Crimson? in Pink Floyd? (Haha, well is The Great Gig in the Sky) and Banas most legendary? although not directly involved are the biggest source of inspiration. Few have caught my attention, the veteran could say that Patti Smith is my favorite, since Joplin was never to my liking and Sinead O'Connor only surrounded himself with good Musco. Already in the 90's began to have more diversity and I do not mean the Britneys or Avrils, talk about Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, Bjork and, of course. And if you think good music first female to mind is Bjork. Not if his eccentric nature or the fact of being born in Iceland that all his records to the Volta me sound great, besides the icon to be reached. As mentioned in my top, this DVD contains the best of Bjork, Vespertine hits and, of course the DVD is fucking up, so I leave the disc only, taken entirely from that concert at the Royal Opera House, although not included their hits as the DVD has the vespertine completito, and to close the debut of Its in Our Hands. Track list: 1. "Frosti" 2. "Overture" 3. "All is Full of Love" 4. "Cocoon" 5. "Aurora" 6. "Undo" 7. "Unravel" 8. "I've Seen It All" 9. "An Echo, a Stain" (With Tanya Tagaq) 10.

"It's in Our Hands" get or try http://www.mediafire.com/?yu25mtm1ny2 mediafire always easier. video 2 posts down w/ musicbox. an AMAZING CONCERT. The use of the music box on the LP/tour with matmos. Can you explain the process of the music box adaptation for Björk’s songs ? JP : Initially, Bjork or her collaborators(Matmos) contacted a music box manufacturer in Randolph Vermont, for whom I had done much work. The music box company sent me three scores initially (Frosti, Blueprint - Pagan Poetry - , and Aurora). (Later, Cocoon was added.) I spoke once with Bjork over the phone after that, which gave me a clear sense of what Vespertine was supposed to be. The work I did for Bjork clearly were « adaptations » : she had created full, complete arrangements written with music box in mind. Her music was inventive and beautiful as it lay, and it was a shame that it wouldn’t fit on a music box disc as it was. (Frosti was longer than the 1 minute which could fit on a disc.) So, I knew my task was to get it to fit without wrecking it. more
