The culmination of several years working in collaboration with orchestras and symphonies around the world, ‘CUT THE WORLD’ is a collection of live symphonic performances of songs from ANOHNI’s four full length albums: Swanlights, The Crying Light, I Am a Bird Now, and Antony and the Johnsons. THis double vinyl lp Features arrangements by Nico Muhly, Rob Moose, Maxim Moston and ANOHNI. The studio recording of "Cut The World", ANOHNI's central offering in Bob Wilson's "The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic" is featured here, as is the 7 minute spoken piece expressing the concept of Future Feminism as it was first emerging from ANOHNI's imagination, and which would later crystallize as an exhibition in collaboration with a group of artists from NYC in 2014.
“The renditions of that back catalog are rendered so powerfully by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra that the originals seem almost incomplete by comparison” Jayson Greene, Pitchfork
