Folie à Deux is a work by British composer
Emily Hall, Icelandic writer and frequent
Björk collaborator Sjón, Swedish jazz soprano Sofia Jernberg, and British opera tenor Allan Clayton. Composed by
Hall for two singers and instruments including acoustic harp and a specially devised electromagnetic harp, Sjón's accompanying story involves a challenged relationship between two lovers, who, in turn, lose their grip on reality. Recorded in London, England and Stockholm, Sweden, the resulting genre-defying soundscape also includes beats and additional electronics by
Mira Calix. ~ Marcy Donelson
