The Members of Sigur Ros Performed them Live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York and Again in Paris. On These Occasions the Band Improvised a 20-minute Section of Music Over a Previously Recorded Backing Track Using Two Sheet-fed Music Boxes, a Glockenspiel and a Specially Homemade Percussive Instrument (Dubbed "Bummsett" in Icelandic) Comprising Eight Ballet Shoes on a Rack. The Backing Tracks Incorporated Recordings of Merce Cunningham's Voice and the Sound of his Tap-dancing Feet, as Well as the Sounds of the Dancers' Footfalls, Recorded at the Company's Studio in Manhattan. The Results of the Live Improvisation (Which Came to Mirror Some Elements of the Choreography) were Recorded at the Band's Studio Outside Reykjavik, Iceland in Late Nov 2003. The Three Sections Are Designed to Be Played in Any Order. Split Sides was Made Up of Two Alternative Pieces of Choreography, Costume Design, Set Design and Music, the Latter Provided by Sigur Ros and Radiohead.
