Björk’s critically-acclaimed Cornucopia world tour has arrived in Europe, bringing its d&b audiotechnik Soundscape Immersive sound treatment as the show scales up from its debut in New York’s new arts centre, The Shed, to a comprehensive run of large-scale arena dates including London’s 02 arena.
Cornucopia is Björk’s most elaborate stage production to date, incorporating visuals, intricate stage movements and a fully integrated immersive sound design. Its sound was designed by Björk and FOH engineer John Gale, supported by Southby Productions and Steve Jones from d&b, using En-Scene object-based mixing and En-Space room emulation software, running on a DS100 system processor and a comprehensive d&b KSL speaker system as an integral part of the concert performance design.
‘Björk wanted the sound for Cornucopia to create an otherworldly sensory experience for the audience that draws all the visual, aural and virtual elements together,’ Jones explains. ‘By using Soundscape from the studio all the way through to the show performances, she has delivered of that impressive vision.’
While already used in many major musical productions, installations, festivals and concerts, the Cornucopia tour marks one of the most ambitious and extensive Soundscape applications. To date, Cornucopia shows in the US and Mexico have received universal critical acclaim from audiences and professional critics alike for their visuals and audio quality.
