Couch Wisdom

Björk

Over the last three decades, few musicians have matched Björk’s electrifying output and restless reinvention. In addition to her musical accomplishments she has constantly pushed boundaries in fashion and the immersive experiences offered by virtual reality. In this lecture, recorded live at the 2016 Red Bull Music Academy in Montréal and hosted by Emma Warren, she offers thoughts on her long and multifaceted career, how intuition drives her recordings and DJ sets, and what utopia means to her.

Couch Wisdom is a weekly podcast presenting the best of Red Bull Music Academy’s lecture archive. Questlove has called these in-depth interviews ‘Inside the Actors Studio’ for music, and who are we to disagree with Questlove? With personal stories and creative insights from Björk to The Black Madonna, Young Thug engineer Alex Tumay to Moodymann, there’s something for every music fan. Red Bull Music Academy is a world-traveling series of festivals and workshops est. in 1998.
