When Björk’s first solo album “Debut” was released, the record’s mix of upbeat tracks, introspective songs, and diverse instrumentation received critical acclaim which solidified Björk’s place as a significant figure in the music industry.
“Human Behavior,” took off immediately and was getting radio love on this side of the pond. With radio love, it wasn’t long before she got on rotation at MTV and Vh-1.

The concert film is just another testament to her genius with this extraordinary immersive experience.
As Björk herself says, this film is “a modern lanterna magica for live instruments.” The original mind-blowing show featured elaborate performances set against an animated curtain backdrop of mesmerizing visuals that blend nature and technology – a staple fusion in Björk’s repertoire.
Each track played during the concert was accompanied by an ensemble of “bespoke instruments” with a few honorable mentions, including the magnetic harp, circular flute, aluphone, and reverb chamber.
The culmination of multi-media artistry and brilliant orchestration transports the audience into the ethereal world of Björk.
