Bj?rk即將發行她第8張錄音室專輯Vulnicura的純弦樂版本:Vulnicura Strings。與原作的曲目相比,新版本去掉了History of Touches這一首歌,并在順序上有所變動。弦樂演奏方面,除了一些常見樂器外,還使用了達芬奇設計、但在他生前并未成型的一款樂器“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 bj?rk 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.
Bj?rk 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 s?awomir zubrzycki and here is where the album reached completion.
