about

13 the four stags of yggdrasil: A Norse mythological poem from the Codex Regius manuscript, the Grímnismál describes the four red deer (Dain, Dvalin, Duneyr and Durathror) that nibble at the branches of the Tree of Life, Yggdrasil. The Scandinavian archaeologist Finnur Magnussen interpreted these harts as representative of the North, South, East and West winds; here the deer are assigned to flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon, a wind quartet manifested mellotronically using a double harmonic Byzantine/Charhargah mode that is also believed to have been used in ancient Icelandic music. Stop-motion puppet animation.
