Björk and David Attenborough Team Up for Documentary Film About Music and Technology

Björk and Sir David Attenborough-- the beloved British voice of the BBC's natural history shows-- will be featured in a new one-hour documentary on the intersection of music and technology, Real Screen reports. Inspired by Björk's sprawling technological album Biophilia (Attenborough narrated its accompanying iPad suite), it was directed by Louise Hooper and produced by Pulse Films, the same company that did the recent LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits. 

The film is titled Attenborough and Björk: The Nature of Music and follows Attenborough as he explores various animals-- birds and whales-- and Björk as she shows off various instruments she's used in her recent live shows-- pendulum harp, sharpsichord, gameleste, and more. Doctor/author Oliver Sacks will also appear.

According to a Björk representative, the documentary is in its final editing stages. It's scheduled for worldwide television broadcast in November, and a longer cut will see limited cinema release at some point. 

Watch the video for Björk's "Hollow", which makes use of molecular DNA and protein models.
