Excited....

Björk took the stage for the Live8 event on saturday in Tokyo with Matmos, Zeena and a japanese string octet by her side, and performed the following songs infront of 10,000 people; Pagan Poetry, All Is Full Of Love, Desired Constellation, Jóga, Hyperballad, Generous Palmstroke, Bachelorette and It's In Our Hands (Soft Pink Truth Remix). Afterwards, there was a press conference. Some quotes:
"I look at the news, I see people starving, I am crying. I'm a total mess. You try to think how you're going to break through this cobweb of problems and bureaucracy and how on Earth anybody is going to make any change."
"I guess sometimes I feel there's not much hope to change anything... but I have to say, when I started to see in the news that Bob Geldoff was gonna get people together, it sorta felt that maybe there was about 5% hope -- which is better than zero!"
"It seems to me that the politicians of the rich countries are almost like this VIP that are untouchable - and then the rest of the public of their own countries and of all the other countries of the world are like the "other" chunk that don't have a voice... so, I would like to say that I am part of that huge chunk, which actually is about... 95% of the world!"
As for what is up next, she replied in a recent issue of German magazine SZ; "Nothing! Wonderful! The film project has been completed, and as soon as this interview is over, I will go to Iceland for 2 months... and afterwards - no idea!"
Drawing Restraint 9
To offer a closer view on the project Björk has dedicated her time to since Medúlla was released, we offer you this special about Drawing Restraint 9, a visual artwork in film form made by Matthew Barney, for which Björk has contributed the soundtrack after having spent time in Japan studying their ways.
She also features in the film, together with Matthew, where they together tell a tale of tea ceremonies, vaseline, a shinto marriage and of course the old classic whale-shapeshifting ending. I mean, who can forget back in the days when Greta Garbo swam off into the sunset as a humpback whale? It still brings a sentimental tear to my eye.
Go to the DR9 special now, to read up on the story and soundtrack, listen to some soundsnippets and rest your eyes upon some visuals. There are also a bunch of related avatars added to the 4UM.
The sountrack has been given the release date of 25th of July.
