Björk Biophilia instruments

[@malfunctionnnn]

This tour must have been amazing. To anyone who attended a biophilia show, be grateful that you had that opportunity.

[@kristbjorgunagumundsdottir6032]

I still have flashbacks every now and then, the power of electricity and her voice, it was like being on drugs but totally grounded at the same time

[@summit9475]

But props to the crew and everyone behind the instruments/production for doing a really good job in bringing Björk's concepts to life.

[@summit9475]

OH MY GOD. BJORK, I DID NOT KNOW HOW AUTHENTIC SHE REALLY, TRULY WAS? She used lightning. ACTUAL ELECTRICITY for the song Thunderbolt. What is this amazing woman

[@ChrisMagoo99]

I had the pleasure of seeing her in a small venue in New York, the Roseland Ballroom (which is now unfortunately closed). You can feel the pulse of that electricity in your chest. It was an exhilarating experience.

[@batman-sr2px]

if she was so authentic she wouldn't rely on synthesized bullshit sounds.

[@d3a1990]

thecannibal .... but she’s worked with more authentic instruments than most artists. Strings on Vulnicura, which she arranged herself, for instance. Harpsichords, glockenspiels, gamelans, singing drums, harps, brass sections.

Björk is the QUEEN of instrumental experimentation! The apparatuses are totally EXTRAORDINARY!

[@ThreeSixGuy]

Her next album's going to use alien transmissions, I hear. Always steps above the rest

[@charliemoll5435]

Funny because it ended up being a neoclassical record

[@Peterrdee]

Arca is an alien I’m sure of it

its a sea album but you get it right on utopia

bjork used thunderbolt! it's very effective!

[@ernestofraga241]

Adrian Thomas jajaja

[@Smellslikerandomness]

The Tesla Coil was GENIUS!!!

[@jose2992]

@rlmontenegro grandes artistas como Björk son prácticamente inexistentes y su contenido musical tiende mucho a variar ya que su conocimiento es muy amplio, por lo tanto optan por experimentar con elementos nuevos y eso no significa que sea influenciable. ella hace su trabajo no de un modo comercial sino para el deleite de quienes de verdad saben apreciar la música. artistas como Björk nunca retroceden, así que no dudes que biophilia sera una gran obra de arte. saludos

[@happyjessus]

This feels like watching "charlie and the chocolate factory" with the only difference that this is made to product sound instead of chocolate :)

[@KarenHeilner]

I love watching this video!! The instruments are amazing!!!

[@aldys92]

Bjork es una genia de la música, Biophilia es su álbum más complejo en mi opinión

[@cristianovia]

Only the genius of Björk could come up with this ❤❤❤

[@DarkFacet]

those tesla coils are really awesome, great idea

[@PIaguerat1974]

love the pendulum harp

[@Guillecarvajal1]

Donde la música y la ciencia se encuentran.

[@drewskie20100]

Bjork is the most innovative artist that the universe has ever seen. Not only does she find ways to enhance her music to genius levels of creativity, she finds ways to enhance music itself. This is the future, hosted by Bjork.

[@GpunktFinderin]

...einfach wunderschön diese instrumente, dankeschöön

[@MaxxieFelan]

This is too much to handle! :O This is going to be a fucking IMMENSE album!

[@chefgirl866]

Would absolutely love to see her in concert.

[@jopercusion]

awesome!!!!! these instruments are so coooooool.....

[@cachaslokas]

@happyjessus I was just thinking that there was a certain Tim Burton atmosphère somewhere!

[@maluche77]

love bjork!!

[@amusedbygod]

@mrtvi46 What I meant: Most artists, music producers use whatever is around, which are in great numbers. Although she did not create these instruments herself, they were created for her magnificent project. I think that within itself is fantastic. But maybe I don't get around so much as you.

[@pagandude1]

Remarkable. This reminds me of when Bjork brought the Lords Of Lightening to New Zealand for the Big Day Out 2008.

[@blurdreamer]

probably the most crazy instrument I ever seen...

[@newentu]

Fantástico...todo estos instrumentos inventados por Björk solo para su música...ella es una Genio !!!

[@kikomeqaf]

Bjork, þú ert mest heillandi kona með bil barn á plánetunni okkar. Það er alltaf heiður að deila í hátignar getur verið. Þú getur fært fólk aftur til náttúrulega eðlishvöt þeirra og að í a stór vegur. Enginn getur eins og þú, best. Þakka þér fyrir tilveru þína og kosti þína.

[@juansalazarj]

que coisa mais louca! björk é divina!

[@dayglowjoe]

How can anyone like this? So interesting and clever!

[@newentu]

maravillosos instrumentos...solo a Björk se le ocurriría algo así...fascinante !!!

[@falagalache]

Cette fille est un genie.

[@acousticyout]

Awesome & Amazing in Polish Zjawiskowe :)))

[@amusedbygod]

@mrtvi46 Actually the 'Sharsichord' was not created for this project. It was in some guy's basment when her team contacted him. I believe only the 'Gameleste' was created for this monumental event. But I stand corrected when I wrote 'these instruments were created for her'.

[@VioletDeliriums]

@CEIVE4EVER maybe...but you get to see how the synthesizer works here...look at the lightning it makes!!!!

[@CEIVE4EVER]

@CEIVE4EVER Sin incluir a Medulla, claro esta. A partir del anterior album, más exactamente, Volta.

[@MELONenSURPRISE]

I hope biophilia will not be another massive commercial project and it will serve its purpose to raise awareness about other living creatures and the planet Earth as a living organism

[@utopi78]

ya no puedo esperar a verla en tajin, cuando venga a mexico ♥-♥

[@Anandazap]

I love the death grips remix of sacrifice!

[@MrJuanpablo88]

innovadora y única

[@mrtvi46]

@amusedbygod The organ wasn't. The Tesla Coil was invented in 1891 and has been used as an instrument by others. The Reactable was developed at a university in Spain. Only the Gravity Harp was created for this project. However, you do have a point in the fact that she's making an effort to find unique and rarely used sounds! :)

[@NathanHautain]

The Gameleste too.

[@rococoness]

those electric bolts are sooo cool o_o

[@Emp158]

The Tesla coil is so awesome

[@Wedge4Life]

is that a reactable at the end? that's sooo 2007

[@amusedbygod]

Who else would think of creating new instruments when the ones that exist just won't do?

[@larissanascr]

Where's gamaleste?

[@dayglowjoe]

How canyon NOT like this I meant to say, hahaha. I love it!

[@gpeddino]

When it comes to Björk, the Reactable is already oldschool...

[@charliez077]

this shit is literally why Katya's "sometimes I don't understand anything about science" rubs me the wrong way :DDD

[@cygnus2015]

@CEIVE4EVER si pero los genios siempre buscan otra manera de hacer las cosas

[@mrtvi46]

@amusedbygod Everyone who invented an instrument?:)

[@gatoreloko1]

Y Violeta Parra sólo necesitaba su cuatro. :/

[@SwizzyM]

@gatoreloko1 y con eso quieres decir?

[@mrtvi46]

@amusedbygod Well, Björk didn't invent any of those instruments. But maybe you didn't imply that. If that is the case I apologize.

[@raynewell6371]

Iceland?? who would have thought¿?!

[@pokemonpoulaga]

C'est une ambiance...

@rlmontenegro mejor anda escuchar reggaeton y asi no tienes de que quejarte, esa debe ser tu musica de preferencia.

[@CEIVE4EVER]

@yoidnoid Esta es una manera de esconder el bulto, desde Medulla Björk va cuesta abajo. No es por nada, pero un sintetizador tiene infinitas posibilidades en comparación con estos instrumentos.

[@jose2992]

@rlmontenegro q tipo de comentario es ese????? se nota q no tienes idea de Björk y peor de musica...

[@pabloamasifuen]

omfg!

[@rlmontenegro]

@jose2992 what's the problem, man? No todo lo qeu brilla es oro. Nunca idolatres por demás. Me huele a que, lejos de Homogenic y Medulla (lo más grosso que hizo) anda muy influenciable y con cada cosa que se le cruza en el camino parece qeu hubiera descubierto américa. Pero bueno... no seas tan odioso por un simple comentario, si no te va a agarrar un ataque al hígado. saludos

Todo bien, peroeso instrumentos son más viejos que la injusticia. Y hay que ver para qué los usa, si no termina siendo "mucho ruido y pocas nueces"

@jose2992 demasiada idolatría de tu parte, lamento informarte

[@CEIVE4EVER]

Such a waste of time; You could get the same sounds with a synthesizer!!!! o_O

[@NathanHautain]

It wouldn't sound as authentic with a synthesizer.

[@CEIVE4EVER]

@@NathanHautain You can't tell the difference, so...

[@NathanHautain]

@@CEIVE4EVER Yes you can. Synths can't reproduce every chord plucking and imperfections real instruments provide. Those add life to a song.

Wow, la texture du synthé Tesla... o.o
