Björk: Drawing Restraint 9 Soundtrack
from pitchforkmedia:
Björk to Release Film Soundtrack in July
Megan Martin and Aaron Mandel report:
Björk has done some interesting things with film and music in her day, whether working with video directors such as Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry or filmmaker Lars Von Trier. These days, she's approaching film music from a different angle, contributing her talents to her baby daddy Matthew Barney's latest installment of his Drawing Restraint series. The film, Drawing Restraint 9, premieres July 1 in Kanazawa, Japan, and like the rest of the series us "centered on the conflicted relationship between human beings and their cultural environment, as well as the struggles of energies within the human body." It will feature a soundtrack of new music by Björk, a CD of which will follow (not, we assume, only in Japan) later 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 Giftwrapping
02 Petrolatum
03 Pearl
04 Bath
05 Hunter Vessel
06 Shimenawa
07 Storm
08 Holographic Entrypoint
09 Ambergris March
10 Field Inversion
11 Antarctic Return
