Björk's "Virus" Named Today's Top Tune at KCRW; "Biophilia" Earns Four Stars ...
, Her most ambitious release to date—a multi-media project that will include an app for each song, a documentary film, a website and unique instruments commissioned for her live shows,” says KCRW, “we're excited to hear how she'll explore the relationships between music and natural phenomena.” Listen to “Virus” and download the track for free today at kcrw.com .“Virus” is also the latest special feature on the Biophilia App for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, available through In-App Purchase via the iTunes App Store . The “Virus” song and app feature explores the relationship between biological virus as part musical instrument, part sonic artwork, and part scientifically informed educational animation. The app feature may be played in song-mode to watch the life cycle of a virus or played in instrument-mode to create music. In “Virus,” infectious agents attack a central cell. Biological and musical processes unite as with each stage of the virus’s life cycle a new song section is heard. The app feature starts with a large cell surrounded by others floating on screen. Small viruses appear, latch on to the cell, and inject their DNA. The strands amass and penetrate the large cell’s nucleus, then the viruses replicate. The song is complete once the cell is destroyed. The user may watch the animation of the song to see and hear the viruses multiply or touch the viruses, flick the nuclei in the cells, play sounds from the song and create original music.

Today’s show is about preserving the past while building our future. The impetus for the show was the recent news that Richard Neutra’s 1955 Kronish House in Beverly Hills might be demolished. The house was photographed last April by photographer Marc Angeles who kindly let us use this marvelous image, left, and told us about this experience photographing a Neutra house that has remained closed from the public for many years: “The Neutra-designed house is set back off of busy Sunset Blvd and lies deep in the property, and is approached only by a long driveway. The entire property is surrounded by mature trees and foliage. The setting was very calm and serene, and it felt extremely private. I’m quite surprised at how at how quiet and peaceful it was. The residence itself has a welcoming presence with a great floor plan and flow, but is not in the best shape and is in need of major restoration. The bones are definitely still there, and I could only imagine what this residence would be like fully restored to its original glory. It would be a shame to see such an historic treasure and work of art to be demolished.”
Another impetus was an exhibit, called Rethink LA, Perspectives on a Future City: that considers a future as imaginative as Neutra’s progressive ideas were in the past. Rethink LA is the product of some great talent: co-curator Jonathan Louie (who has had some fascinating prior experience working with leading Rotterdam architects MDRDV and OMA) and a collaborative team of video-makers, exhibit designers, photographers and artists, architects and planners who gave of their time and ideas, among them Kellie Konapelsky, Jae Won Cho (beautiful exhibit design); Maya Santos and Orly Shuber who put together videos (I’m on one them along with Alissa Walker (of GOOD and Fast Company) Sam Lubell, Editor of The Architects Newspaper, California Edition, is on another), Fritz Haeg and Kai Mai.
There are some fantastic before and after visions of places in LA, by such notable firms as Taalman Koch, Superunion and Lehrer Architects, for starters.
