Free Music Review: A Needed Clarificatrion for Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do...
Hit: 5 Stars
I've read several of the reviews here that both liked and did not like this album, but there was one thing in common with ALL of them... No one seemed to know the origins of the album. In the case of Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do, that is the single most important thing in understanding/appreciating the music. CONTEXT.
American choreographer Merce Cunningham made a dance piece / ballet entitled "Split Sides." The idea was that there were two lighting arrangements, two soundtracks, two of everything that could be interchanged from one half of the show to the other. He got Sigur Ros to write half of the music (Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do), and he got Radiohead to write the other half (music they chose not to release). The music was a collaborative effort with cunningham and his choreography, so it follows a logical progression, much like the build-up in (), albeit a much shorter trip.
Given this knowledge, I found Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do to be rather amazing. From the first notes of the ballerina music box in Ba Ba, I was captivated.
Hope this helped.
Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do Poster
The Members of Sigur Ros Performed them Live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York and Again in Paris. On These Occasions the Band Improvised a 20-minute Section of Music Over a Previously Recorded Backing Track Using Two Sheet-fed Music Boxes, a Glockenspiel and a Specially Homemade Percussive Instrument (Dubbed "Bummsett" in Icelandic) Comprising Eight Ballet Shoes on a Rack. The Backing Tracks Incorporated Recordings of Merce Cunningham's Voice and the Sound of his Tap-dancing Feet, as Well as the Sounds of the Dancers' Footfalls, Recorded at the Company's Studio in Manhattan. The Results of the Live Improvisation (Which Came to Mirror Some Elements of the Choreography) were Recorded at the Band's Studio Outside Reykjavik, Iceland in Late Nov 2003. The Three Sections Are Designed to Be Played in Any Order. Split Sides was Made Up of Two Alternative Pieces of Choreography, Costume Design, Set Design and Music, the Latter Provided by Sigur Ros and Radiohead.Alternative Rock Music CDs
