I have been asked what instrument I play on the tour.
One is an electronic harpsichord that Björk owns. It has two two manuals and is a sampled instrument. It is of an unusually high quality. It has four types of church organ sounds, three harpsichord sounds, a celeste sound and some others that we don’t use. I also play an electric piano.
On the SNL show I used the celeste, but played an octave lower than in the original version of the song. In that way it sounded a bit like a toy piano. Tonight I’ll play the same part on the electric piano, but will use a kind of a marimba sound that the other instrument doesn’t have. I prefer it to the celeste, it is more earthy. We’ll see how it works.
