Declare Independence
The Volta Tour was a tour by the singer Björk that focused on her album, "Volta". Overall, 48 songs were done on the tour focusing on many tracks from "Debut" through to "Vespertine", though mostly from "Medúlla" and "Volta", the former of which did not receive its own tour. The tour band consisted of drummer Chris Corsano, musician Mark Bell (who also accompanied Björk on the Homogenic tour), pianist Jónas Sen (who played celeste on the tracks Gratitude and Cetacea on the "Drawing Restraint 9" soundtrack), musician Damian Taylor and a 10 piece female Icelandic brass section. Many of the songs evolved considerably during the tour, including "Innocence" which was re-done so as to incorporate brass elements. Live performances of the track "Declare Independence" made heavy use of the ReacTable, an electro-acoustic music instrument with a tabletop Tangible User Interface, which is played by Damian Taylor. The Tenori-on was used heavily in performances of "Who Is It". A live DVD and CD of the Volta tour was released as part of "Voltaïc". The tour was Björk's first in four years and saw her play countries that she had not played in over ten years.
