Björk Guðmundsdóttir, venerable musician and early tech adopter – app impresario, VR utopian, entire chunk of MoMA real estate – has become, like so many of us, a podcaster. Specifically, on Sept. 1, she launched a series called Sonic Symbolism. Each episode consists of 40 minutes-ish of Björk playing, then explicating, one album from her considerable career. There are also show notes, which read like pages from zoomer tome the Aesthetics Wiki. For Volta: “Justice, fire, anthropology, wanderlust, activist, brass, boats, feminist, red, neon green, electric blue, flags, trumpets, tribal beats, bombastic.” Regarding Medulla: “Primordial, motherhood, black braided hair, breastfeeding, passive, pre-civilisation, goth, folk, archeology, bones, family around campfire.”
