Bjork’s album/app Biophilia was an ambitious undertaking, to say the least: Not only did the Icelandic musician pen a 10-song album, she also helped create a suite of accompanying apps, a fleet of new instruments, a dynamic live experience and an educational program for children interested in learning about musicology. Now, Bjork is looking to build out this expansive project even more, launching a Kickstarter campaign in order to bring Biophilia to more screens and her educational program to more schools.
It looks like Lady Gaga is going to go all Bjork on us with the release of her next album, ARTPOP (due out next year). Yup, like the Icelandic singer before her, she’s releasing the new tunes in app form, what she promises to be a “multimedia experience.” No word, however, on if her iteration will include custom instruments and the like (as did Bjork’s Biophilia).
