Drawing Restraint 9

Drawing Restraint 9 is the soundtrack album by Björk in collaboration with her then-partner Matthew Barney for his film of the same title.

For this project Björk travelled to Japan to study ancient Japanese music. Several tracks are made with the sound of the shō, a Japanese instrument which contains 16 various reeds.

“Hunter Vessel” was later sampled on her 2007 album Volta for the tracks “Vertebræ by Vertebræ” and “Declare Independence.”
