New Jóhann Jóhannsson Project and Live Dates

New Tour Dates

Johann has announced live dates for his second collaboration with dancer and choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir. The performance is called "Mysteries of Love" and was commissioned in 2005. In this piece they are joined by dancer/choreographer Margrét Sara Gudjónsdóttir and the musicians Flosi Thorgeirsson and Valdimar Jóhannsson.

"Mysteries of Love" is a suite of 10 «songs», which followed a similar structure, i.e. 10 small works that merge music, movements, song, words and performance in a new way [...] In the piece IBM 1401, a user´s manual, we started to work with the voice as an extension of the body and as an instrument. We will in this new piece take this idea further and explore the boundaries between the concert and dance theatre. Erna and Margret use their voices as an extension of the body, not simply in a «musical» capacity, but as a source of sounds and vocal textures. [more]
