ICE: The String Tribute to Bjork features classic instrumental renditions of the introspective and atmospheric songs of today’s most innovative musical talent. Björk, classically trained prodigy from Iceland, where the Northern Lights shine and lava flows clash with glacial drifts, is renown for her ever ambitious and often mysterious music.
Her songs, richly layered emotional soundscapes full of complex structures and exuberant orchestration, resonate with new intensity and an epic sweep when performed by these versatile cellists, violists and violinists. Björk has experimented with various modern genres from techno and pop to ambient and dance, but has often incorporated string octets into her haunting yet liberating music.
ICE strips Björk's sonic testaments to their bare essence, the symphonic arrangements that are the core of her music, the artists utilizing the rich tones of their stringed instruments to likewise capture the spirit of Björk's lush and dreamy vocal stylings.
