Sigur Rós - Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do
Country: U.S.Label: Geffen Records
Released: 13 April 2009
Genre: Electronica / Post-Rock / Abstract / Experimental / Ambient
Details:
20 minutes of new music written for Merce Cunningham’s Split Sides performance.
There are three titles on the inside of this sleeve.
Written for octogenarian US choreographer Merce Cunningham’s Dance Company’s 50th gala performance, Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do is 20-minutes plus of new instrumental music based around music-box piano lines, percussive sounds derived from ballet shoes and the fractured syllables and tap dancing feet of Merce Cunningham himself. Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do includes three separate tracks, respectively ‘Ba Ba’, ‘Ti Ki’ and, yes, ‘Di Do’. In the spirit of the commission, these were initially written to be played in any order, but, having lived with them, the band like it best when they occur in the sequence presented here.
Tracklisting:
1 Ba Ba – 6:12
2 Ti Ki – 8:49
3 Di Do – 5:42
