Björk releases Biophilia app
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 20 July 2011
Björk has made the previously reported iOS app for her new album, ‘Biophilia’, available via the Apple app store. The free app features an introduction from David Attenborough, and the track ‘Cosmogony’, plus makes another track, ‘Crystalline’, available for in-app purchase.
All ten tracks from the album will eventually be made available through the app, and each comes with its own accompanying interactive elements, including a game, musical animation of the song, an animated score, lyrics, and an academic essay. ‘Cosmogony’ itself is hidden in the galaxy that makes up the app’s main screen, allowing the user to move through the sound in the three dimensional kind of way. Trust me, it’s all very clever.
‘Cosmogony’ and ‘Crystalline’ are also both available as standard downloads from iTunes. The album will be released by One Little Indian on 27 Sep.
