Björk即将发行她第8张录音室专辑Vulnicura的纯弦乐版本:Vulnicura Strings。与原作的曲目相比,新版本去掉了History of Touches这一首歌,并在顺序上有所变动。弦乐演奏方面,除了一些常见乐器外,还使用了达芬奇设计、但在他生前并未成型的一款乐器“Viola Organista”。

The original version of ‘vulnicura’ layered the boom and crack of electronic beats with an intense vocal melody and incredible string arrangements by björk which have been performed live with a fifteen chair orchestra. The new version is musically wholly comprised of strings, with new violin solos by una sveinbjarnardóttir and strings records by a viola organista.
Björk used the only ‘viola organista’ in the world to perform some of the arrangements; an instrument which was designed originally by leonardo da vinci but not built until after his lifetime. The instrument uses a friction belt to vibrate individual strings (similar to a violin), with the strings selected by pressing keys on the keyboard (similar to an organ). The instrument was recorded in krakow, poland by its constructor sławomir zubrzycki and here is where the album reached completion.
