Björk announces forthcoming release of Cornucopia: The Book

"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," Björk wrote in a statement on her socials. "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.

The Cornucopia tour featured specifically designed elements such as "27 moving curtains that captured projections on different textures and LED screens, creating a digitally animated show: a modern lanterna magica for live music", as well as bespoke instruments such as "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."

The forthcoming book documents this five year tour, and was designed by M/M Paris, with images shot by photographer Santiago Felipe.
