Bjork studied in classical music and piano at 6, released her first album at 11, and part of punk and jazz bands during her teens...
-
hyperballad was the song that did me in for björk as well.
-
Madison is so freaking good with you guys. I'd be down with her as a full time co-host lol. Also I hope this has one of your typical follow-on episodes talking about Madison's music next. Her guitar playing turns my brain inside out
-
Humble brag here - I saw the Sugarcubes in 1989. Wonderful
-
Madison is VERY perceptive when it comes to discussing music. It shows in her own work, too. My favorite part of this series is seeing how different musicians perceive, intuit, and discuss music with their own vocabulary, and bouncing that off of everyone else in the room.
-
Bjork's Sonic Symbolism pod reveals a lot about her process. This was a pandemic obsession listening to her talk through her process and inspiration. Great choice to dissect! I'm also really into Possibly Maybe from Post. Also, Madison being here and articulating is perfect! I'm gonna go to Staples and pick up some new legal pads.

That "sound" you're talking about at around 3:00 is a Sample from Mayemi Miyamoto, called "Music for Shō and harp" from 1986 :)
-
Here I am agreeing alongside them like they’re preaching the gospel. Bjork is such a genuine amazing artist
-
Just wanted to say as a mailman, this show has been a delight to listen to in podcast form at work. Thank you for doing that :)
-
Can we please talk about Madisons music though? She’s absolutely incredible
-
I just wanna take a moment to appreciate this channel, the fact that you have the founder of PATREON making insanely in depth, interesting, educational music content with no sponsor breaks while giving his friends and people he admires a place to really shine, so cool.
-
Got me excited for someone to talk about Bjork!
-
the main sample is Music for Sho and Harp (Cort Lippe) Mayumi Miyatav
-
I’m excited see Madison Cunningham on show talk about. Amazing legend signing of ever.
-
"I have a feeling she just exists" is as close as you can get. It's the je-ne sais-quoi. She is free and when she is not she is seeking to be. Not to be mistaken by I'm free in my music, but at home I enjoy myself as Martha Stewart. It is through and through. Therefore it can't apply to the "normal" world, so you are forced to create your own one. Admirably exceptional. Great episode, thanks to everybody involved.

Born 1965, from 1970 she attended the Barnamúsíkskóli Reykjavíkur music school, where she spent ten years, among other things. was taught singing, piano and flute.

Dead Wax is back. So happy !
-
Bjork does indeed read and write traditional music notation- I recall once seeing scores of her string arrangements for Joga and Pagan Poetry in her manuscript and being absolutely gobsmacked. It brought a whole level of depth to her genius that I hadn't appreciated prior.
-
I fell in love with bjork with the sugar cubes “birthday” kills!
-
sure i'm not the first to say so here, but Bjõrk is very much a classically trained composer & a skilled producer who is able to draw from many different disciplines. She knows exactly what she's doing. She also stays very open to mystery & communing with the sounds of nature. I'm sure happy accidents happen for her -- but she is a composer thru & thru.
