‘What happened before we got involved in problematic things like
civilization, religion and nationhood ?’ In her conceptual album Medúlla,
Icelandic artist Björk returns to a pagan universe that is entirely
human. Björk’s composition for a cappella voices explores a huge array
of vocal techniques, from throat-singing and choruses to beatboxing and
pop harmonies. Released in 2004, the album was her reaction to counter
the outbreaks of racism and neo-nationalism after the 9/11 attacks. A
decade later, an ensemble of singers representing different generations –
children and youth choirs next to senior opera singers – unites to
redefine in meditative images what Björk named ‘medúlla’ – ‘an ancient
spirit that’s passionate and dark, a spirit that survives’ – the basic
element of human condition that unites us all, despite different
beliefs, origins, nations and ages.
