Recording
In May 2009, Björk and Dirty Projectors wrote a musical suite entitled Mount Wittenberg Orca and performed it at a Manhattan benefit concert for the Housing Works nonprofit organization. In April 2010, Björk and Dirty Projectors recorded the suite at Brooklyn studio Rare Book Room.
Mount Wittenberg is located at Point Reyes National Seashore in California. The inspiration for the EP came when Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors saw a pod of whales off the coast while hiking at that spot.
Release
All digital sales proceeds were donated to the National Geographic Society Oceans Initiatives, which helps create international marine protected areas.
