Björk’s band on the Volta tour included
Mark Bell (LFO) on computers and keyboards and Damian Taylor on keyboards
and programming. Drums and percussion were played by Chris Corsano; Jónas
Sen played piano, harpsichord, and church organ; and Björk’s all female Icelandic
10-piece brass section rounded out the group. A dynamic, grand live experience,
the Volta tour has been acclaimed around the world. As the Guardian (UK)
said in its five-star review, “Björk delivers a performance as visually spectacular
as it is musically innovative. Fifteen years into her solo career Björk remains
the least compromising and most fantastical pop superstar talent.”
