Sigur Ros And Radiohead Split Sides

Sigur Ros and Radiohead created the music for a 2003 dance performance series called Split Sides that's now available in a two-DVD set.

The DVDs feature the 45th and 46th performances of the show, which involved 14 dancers from the Merce Cunningham Dance Company at New York's Brooklyn Academy Of Music. It was divided into two 20-minute parts — one with Sigur Ros' music and the other with Radiohead's.

There were also different set designs, costumes, lighting and choreography for the two sets, and the order in which each element appeared was determined by an on-stage dice roll before the performance, which meant there were 32 possible combinations for any show. The DVDs present four.

Sigur Ros' contribution was comprised of three songs released as the Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do EP in 2004. Radiohead's music had never been released until now on the DVD, which can be purchased here. The 126-minute DVDs will be available through Amazon on June 30.

Here's a clip of one of the performances:
