  1. Composing Architecture Björk as a composer

  2. Björk- Medulla • Seventh solo album. • Recorded almost entirely without the aid of instruments. • Medulla: the inner core of certain organs of body structures; “the essence of something”. • Explores the ritual power of the human voice in a way that is both primal and elaborate.

  3. Björk on Medulla "I was going to call the album ‘Ink,' because I wanted it to be like that black, 5,000 year-old blood that's inside us all; an ancient spirit that's passionate and dark, a spirit that survives. Something in me wanted to leave out civilisation, to rewind to before it all happened and work out, ‘Where is the human soul? What if we do without civilisation and religion and patriotism, without the stuff that has gone wrong?' "Then, I got drunk – surprise! – with my artist friend Gabriella and she came up with the title Medúlla. It basically means ‘marrow' in medical language, in Latin. Not just your bone marrow, but marrow in the kidneys and marrow in your hair, too. It's about getting to the essence of something.”
