Bono and Pharrell help make an album for conceptual artist Sophie Calle's dead cat

An artist has enlisted Bono, Pharrell Williams and several other prominent musicans to make an album for her dead cat.

Conceptual artist Sophie Calle has worked with 38 musicians on the creation of the 37-track LP dedicated to the memory of Souris, Calle’s cat who passed away in 2014.

Further big names featuring on the album include R.E.M’s Michael Stipe, Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker and rock band The National.

The album starts with a spoken-word voicemail message recorded by Bono, which includes the lines “She turns her face to yours/ And with a shock you see yourself/ Tiny, inside the golden amber of her eyeballs”. Pharrell’s contributed track is entitled “A Cat Named Mouse”.

This is not the first time Calle has made work about Souris, having previously exhibited photos of the dead pet lying in a coffin, which was shortlisted for the Deutche Borse Photography Prize last year.

The album, entitled Souris Calle, can now be streamed via Spotify, and is also available as a triple LP vinyl.
