Practice Constraints

Björk released “Medúlla” in 2004, an album where about 80% of sounds come from human voices with minimal conventional instruments.

As an artist who connects technology with nature, she imposed this vocal-only constraint deliberately. She challenged herself to create everything (basslines, percussion, atmospherics) using just the human throat.

Instead of using everything at your disposal, set constraints to test your imagination. When we limit our tools or methods, we’re forced to think more creatively within those boundaries, often leading to more innovative and distinctive outcomes.
