Biophillia is Free on Google PLay

Still selling for $20 on Apple App Store


Biophilia is an extraordinary and innovative multimedia exploration of music, nature and technology by the musician Björk. Comprising a suite of original music and interactive, educational artworks and musical artifacts, Biophilia is released as ten in-app experiences that are accessed as you fly through a three-dimensional galaxy that accompanies the album’s theme song Cosmogony. All of the album’s songs are available inside Biophilia as interactive experiences: Crystalline, Virus, Moon, Thunderbolt, Sacrifice, Mutual Core, Hollow, Solstice, and Dark Matter.

Björk has collaborated with artists, designers, scientists, instrument makers, writers and software developers to create an extraordinary multimedia exploration of the universe and its physical forces, processes and structures - of which music is a part. Each in-app experience is inspired by and explores the relationships between musical structures and natural phenomena, from the atomic to the cosmic. You can use Biophilia to make and learn about music, to find out about natural phenomena, or to just enjoy Björk’s music.

Biophilia opens into a three-dimensional galaxy with a compass allowing navigation between the 3-dimensional universe and a two-dimensional track list. Take a closer look by tapping on stars within the constellations and you’ll see that each is a full app-within-an-app that gives access to the inspired combination of artifacts for each new Björk song: interactive art and games, music notation which can be used to sing along karaoke-style, abstract animations, lyrics, and essays that explore Björk’s inspirations for the track. These artifacts bring together conventional and alternative ways of representing and making music to create an environment for entertainment and learning. Biophilia challenges the way we think about music. Here, for the first time, is a music album that exploits the multimedia capabilities of mobile interactive technologies.

Biophilia was developed by Björk in collaboration with interactive artist and app developer Scott Snibbe, and Björk's longtime design collaborators M/M Paris. The individual apps were created by Luc Barthelet, Drew Berry, Kodama Studios, Stephen Malinowski, Scott Snibbe Studio, John Simon Jr., Touch Press, and Max Weisel.

Features:

• Three-dimensional galactic interface with the song Cosmogony
• Nine fully interactive song apps
• Music scores with karaoke playback
• Abstract song animation
• Lyrics
• Essays

Enjoy

  • We shouldn't be encouraging exploitation of underaged bios.

    • +2

      By that logic, we also shouldn't encourage exploitation of underage pedos.

  • Not working S6

  • No support for LG G4 confirmed (Marshmallow) :/

    Hm I should have posted this the other day when I saw it, but frankly, I thought it looked terrible. I almost didn't click the 'free' button in google play.

    It looked like downloading visualisers for winamp.. yawn.

      Typical human behaviour.

        There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic

    Love me some Bjork and good to see she is pushing boundaries and exploring different avenues visually and musically.

    • +1

      I don't think she's pushing boundaries, more like totally unaware of them. She's been totally fruitloop hatstand for decades. "Pump" by The Sugarcubes is one of my favourite tracks - great for singing along peacefully to or yelling angrily, depending on how you feel and which part you sing.

  • not compatible with S7 Edge???

  • Not compatible with a Nexus 6P? What

  • Haha does this actually work on anyone's phone?

  • Haha all these expensive handsets and incompatatibity, my note 2 running Android 4.1.1 and everything works.

  • Doesn't work on Samsung Note 4

  • Galaxy s4 here and it works well. It's an audio-visual treat and spell-binding to experience in the dark.

  • Some of the songs are interactive. You can actually change the presentation by touching the screen and moving some of the objects. Brilliant!

  • So weird… It works for my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus (the first Google phone), but not my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.

  • Working fine on my Oneplus One.

    To think I was actually going to shell out the $20 for this a few weeks ago ha ha

  • I want it.. but I think I'll wait for WiFi to install.

  • Bjork is performing a DJ set tonight and tomorrow night at the Vivid festival in Sydney.

    She also has some weird 360 degree 3D interactive show 'Bjork Digital' running during the festival too which is free.
