"For someone like me, who has been doing music since I was a kid,
the fact you can write a tune and do a visual with your digital video
camera and put it on the net that evening. You don't have to wait
for two years!" said Björk on the TOTP interview, which you can see
in RealVideo format on the BBC Top Of The Pops homepage!

Björk tells her favourite show
about her single, 'Hidden Place',
and new album, 'Vespertine'.
Björk on the video for 'Hidden Place':
I'm going to do a video to Hidden Place with
people who I've got a really gorgeous
relationship with right now. It's very fertile
right now, so of course you have to be
grateful and act on it. Its photographers
and It's their first video. They are really
well-known photographers. They are a Dutch
couple and they live here in New York.
Björk on her new album 'Vespertine':
Vespertine is an album that happens in a
cocoon, like hibernation, and it's almost like
a winter world where people are very
introvert. It's a very privately euphoric sort
of album.
Björk on the internet:
I'm really excited about the internet at the
moment and I'm really excited by the
limitations of downloading. Humans have
been making music for 2000 years and it
doesn't matter what challenge you give
them, with folk music or popular music or
whatever, they always beat it.
100 years ago it was the radio and they just
ended up making songs that sounded good
on the radio. And then they made music that
sounds good on a CD, and now they are
making music that sounds good on a crap
laptop that is downloaded. Also, the quality
of the picture is already influencing people. I
think quite a lot of the beats like Destiny's
Child, they already sound like they are
downloaded on the internet. They are sort
of stuttering and it is like there is no oxygen
there, like in a room. Sound-wise it is sort of
vacuum-packed.
For someone like me, who has been doing
music since I was a kid, the fact you can
write a tune and do a visual with your digital
video camera and put it on the net that
evening. You don't have to wait for two
years!
Björk on making net influenced music:
To a certain degree, the acoustic musical
instruments I used are the only ones that
sound good when they are downloaded. So
you have less tools to play with again. It's
sort of punk in a way. I think limitations are
a big turn-on for creative people.
