Nature Manifesto, pt. 1 it is an emergency the apocalypse has already happened and how we will act now is essential in pioneering sound-strata with mutant peacocks, bees, and lemurs biology will reassemble in new ways and micro-organisms will mate with other life-forms to heal and adapt in fruiting bodies and fields of sensory information the web of life will unfold into a world of new solutions We would like to share our “Nature Manifesto,” a sound installation at the Centre Pompidou Centre Pompidou, Paris. Produced in collaboration with IRCAM IRCAM using AI software, this immersive sound piece gives endangered and extinct animals a voice by merging their sounds with our words. We wanted to share their presence in an architecture representing the industrial age, far away from nature. In the veins of the escalator of the museum, known as the “caterpillar,” we wanted to remind citizens of the raw vitality of endangered creatures. Even though you are restlessly traveling between floors whilst listening to this soundpiece, the tone of animals’ voices hopefully builds a sonic bridge towards the listeners. And in the spirit of these animals, in the magic of how they are sensually aligned with their environment, they become our teachers! Their ghosts remind us of improving our primordial mindfulness. But we didn’t only want to talk the talk but walk the walk, so together with young environmentalists in France and Iceland, we have set up a campaign. It will launch later. Thank you, Björk and Aleph Immersive sound piece 3’40” (2024) 20 November to 9 December, 2024, Centre Pompidou, Paris. Presented as part of the forum “Biodiversity: Which culture for which future?” #ForumBiodiversité Concept and words by Björk & Aleph Music written and composed by Björk Curatorship: Chloé Siganos and Aleph Molinari Associate curator: Delphine Le Gatt Ircam Musical Computing: Robin Meier Wiratunga Sound engineer: Bergur Þórisson Animation: Sam Balfua Video editing: Santiago Molinari In partnership with D&B Audio and Southby Productions.

the eruption that started on 18th of december was the most powerful of the now annual reykjanes peninsula volcanic activities . it just ended last night . out of the 4 eruptions ( geologists say it could happen every year now for a century ) it was the shortest and had most lava per minute … this eruption was right next to the mountain that i stood on in 1997 when i filmed with michel gondry a music video for the song “jóga”. the song was written for my ( still today ) best friend and she reminded me last month of that i had asked her at the time “who do you want to represent you in the video , iceland or kristbjörg kjeld ?” . she answered iceland and i remember explaining to michel that for me , mother earth , jóga , moss and lava is the same thing . and that i wanted to open my chest and reveal my lava-heart . and of course , michel being michel , he said “mais oui , bien sur” you can see the video to jóga here

CORNUCOPIA on Apple Music Apple Music and AppleTV+ Apple TV !! This Friday, 24th of January at 7pm PT. #AppleMusicLive i am so thrilled to share an hour excerpt of the Cornucopia concert film here with you online . the full version will be played later in theatres . this has been a long journey with hundreds of people helping out . i am so beyond enormously grateful to every single one of them . i feel the modern concert film is a matriarchially friendly construct , welcomed in the current climate . where female musicians can share their worlds uncorrupted . in cornucopia , i was joined by musical director and multi instrumentalist bergur þórisson , percussionist manu delago , flute septet Viibra , harpist katie buckley and the hamrahlid choir . i spent last decade working with 360-degree sound and visual software in virtual reality and animation, creating Biophilia and later Vulnicura as a VR album. i was deeply inspired by the idea of a fully-immersive experience spreading Utopia and Fossora 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 realised 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

You're probably wondering why French people you don’t know are appearing on Björk's social media? Rest assured, we haven't hacked into her account. We're here because Björk felt that our revelations were important for the whole world: we're here to alert you about an ecological tragedy that is taking place in France because of our President Emmanuel Macron and that concerns the future and very livability of our planet. This concerns you too and anyone who watches this video. To put it bluntly: the fate of biodiversity treasures, of millions of marine animals and of the global climate are at stake. No more, no less. This scandal is unfolding in the midst of general indifference. Watch this outrageous story right to the end, and share it with everyone you know: it is URGENT that we take action. France has the second largest maritime space in the world right after the USA. What does this mean in practical terms? It means that your action can be DECISIVE for the future of the oceans and marine animals. If there is enough international pressure, we can obtain protection instead of destruction. That would be INCREDIBLE. You can always watch the video and decide to do nothing, but if you are outraged by this injustice and want a more beautiful world that protects the ocean and marine animals, then act now! We count on you ALL ♥️ To STOP the massacre of marine animals. To STOP the destruction of the oceans To STOP the French President's ‘French touch’ HOW CAN YOU TAKE ACTION? 1 / By tagging President Macron to truly protect the ocean Emmanuel Macron 2 / By signing our international petition: 3 / By donating to a legal case in France to stop this: Thank you ! with activists: Arthur Caulliez, Anaïs Clermont, Camille Etienne, Claire Nouvian, Sigrún Perla Gísladóttir, Sæunn Júlía Sigurjónsdóttir, Titouan Pilliard of Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) BLOOM Association and Ungir umhverfissinnar.
