Abstract:

In this chapter, the authors explore Madonna and Björk’s views on electronic music and the nature/technology relationship, through an analysis of two of their albums - Madonna’s Ray of Light (1998) and Björk’s Homogenic (1997). The authors argue that both artists contribute to the dismantling of the nature/technology dichotomy promoted within the realm of popular music by using electronic technology in a non-traditional manner.
