The "mad scientist" picture, as Zappa called it:



Although I think this one is a better fit with the music:



Top photo looks like a deranged Vaughan Williams! Sorry, should have labelled Pettersson and Mussorgsky.

Makes you wish some of the Swedish actresses (and that includes those from Swedish Erotica) composed.

Yeah, if they did, it would sound something like Atterberg's ultra-romantic music. :)

Harald Sæverud

Yikes! Yeah, Saeverud's music is craggy no doubt. I haven't been able to completely warm to his music, especially his later works. They can be quite harsh (bringing to mind Schuman's later works). I like his Third and Seventh symphonies quite a bit, though.

Are you suggesting that Atterbergs music would be at home in a Porn movie?  This is diabolical of you to say the least, Herr Kyle.   >:D   :P  However, I do agree that the music 'gives it some.'

Schoenberg.  He was as baldy as his music, and as harsh and barren looking as his music sounded.  (Sorry Arnold, I really don't mean to be so cruel.  :-[ )

***hurries away in a long coat to locate and buy Atterbergs secretly named 'Seka Symphony' from some guy doing Swedish CD deals in Moscow***

Harald Sæverud

There is something feline about him.  Very interesting features.
He is cat-like.  And grand.
I see him and suddenly I want to hear his music...

I'd recommend starting with Symphonies 3 and 7, Peer Gynt, or the Bassoon Concerto. Saeverud's not an "easy" composer by any means, but I think you'll find something to enjoy in his music.

I'd say Martinů looks like his music:
