Björk – Biophilia [iPhone, iPad, Sound]

Creative Applications reviews Björk and Scott Snibbe’s experimental music album meets iPad app, Biophilia.

Biophilia is an iPhone/iPad release of Björk’s latest album created in collaboration with Scott Snibbe and her longtime design collaborators M/M (Paris). Comprising a suite of musical pieces and interactive artworks, Biophilia is released as ten in-app download experiences that are accessed through a three-dimensional galaxy, the album’s theme song Cosmogony. The first single Crystalline, is now available, others soon to follow.


Björk has collaborated with artists, designers, scientists, instrument makers, writers and software developers to create an extraordinary multimedia exploration of the universe and its physical forces, processes and structures – of which music is a part. Each in-app experience is inspired by and explores the relationships between musical structures and natural phenomena, from the atomic to the cosmic. You can use Biophilia to make and learn about music, to find out about natural phenomena, or to just enjoy Björk’s music.

Biophilia opens into a three-dimensional galaxy with a compass allowing navigation between the 3-dimensional universe and a two-dimensional track list. By tapping on stars within the constellations you can access each in-app purchase which includes a combination of album art, games, interactive music notation which you can pan through in realtime, lyrics, and essays that explore Björk’s inspirations for the track.

Whilst the app does “borrow” some of the concepts we have already seen in the AppStore and/or on CAN, it never the less offers an unique experience where different elements are weaved together with both sensitivity and precision. The experience is unified, building on different layers of visuals and sound, Bjork with Scott and M/M have just set a new milestone, showing real benefits that lie in collaboration. Considering there are still 8 tracks to go and although I have no intention to cover each one independently, I fear I may have to as from what I have seen in no.1, there are many more wonderful things yet to come. Get it >

Biophilia was created by Björk in collaboration with interactive artist and app developer Scott Snibbe, and Björk’s longtime design collaborators M/M (Paris). Crystalline (one of the in-app purchase tracks) was created by Björk in collaboration with Luc Barthelet, developer of The Sims; TouchPress, creator of The Elements app; and M/M (Paris).

Battles - Ice Cream (NSFW)

“Ice Cream,” Gloss Drop’s poppiest, most immediate summertime moment, now has a video that opens with a girl licking a swirled cone in the bathtub. That’s only the beginning: Women also lick pine cones, roller skates, lamps, flowers, a doorknob. (And a dog licks a banana.) It was directed by CANADA, apparently a horny country.

Ghost

"Ghost" (2011) is a independent shortfilm finished January 2011, shot in my hometown of Viborg. Both I, the DOP and sounddesigner grew up here, and had strong feelings about the locations.

We wanted to tell a simple story with a strong visual universe, using mostly atmosphere and moods. Avoiding dialogue and story telling rules, we played around with the structure, visuals and sound, trying to make the outer world reflect the inner feelings of the characters. This little ekspressive and experimental film was the end result.

Thanks alot to all the friends and family who helped out!

Ordæmonium

Having spent the last semester at the RCA working on this (very) short film I am happily posting it online now. I tried not to pre-plan and to have this this project as an experiment to see what happens if I let my unconscious unravel itself. I had a basic idea, the tangled spaghetti in the plate, and a hidden narrative emerged around this image with a perhaps alcoholic father and a child who is tangled between chaos and order.

Ordaemnium probably falls short sense and filmic punctuation but still, it was an enjoyable process and I benefited from making this short. Enjoy?

"Wail to God" Music Video

The official music video for Ape School's 'Wail to God'. Animated/ Directed by Anthony F. Schepperd.

Anthony F. Schepperd’s “Wail To God” is a subversion of conventional animation. Suffused with an unorthodox style reminiscent of Bill Plympton, viewers are jolted by constant shifts in perspective, while the uncanny non-narrative plays out with a graceful continuity.

In “Wail To God,” there are none of the usual clichés. The darting changes in scale, color, and motion are freakishly cool, while the loose and frenetic line-work—moving with the ferocity of brush-fire—add another layer of unpolished appeal.
