Einar Jónsson, Icelandic sculptor who translated the mythical and Norse sagas into his sculptures, was a contemporary of Walt Disney. In Jónson's library I find a book called "The Art of Walt Disney", from 1946.
I compose soundtracks to Einar Jónsson's sculptures, in a way that reinforces moods and emotions that the sculptures embody. A sound-image level like in Disney movies. In each composition there is a reference to Disney
productions.
The work is a physical experience of how music and sound manipulate and distract us from ourselves. The so already sensual of modernity makes it difficult to access our own bodily sensations.
What connects the two popular artists of their time is not only the processing of mythological themes, but also the recurring pattern of transposing stereotypes into their visual language.Women's - and men's roles are very clear according to a conservative paradigm.
