Description
My chosen theme is "Spirits in the North".
Working on this project, I tried to create an atmosphere inspired by ancient Nordic cultures and shamanic practices. The music is a synthesis of ethnic, ritual and historical elements of early medieval European and Scandinavian traditions.
The pieces include ethnic instruments such as traditional drums and shamanic percussion, fiddle and nyckelharpa, jaw harp, hunting horns and flutes, as well as folk vocals.
The concept also revolves around the idea of reconnecting with nature and place through sound, so the works utilise ambient sounds and sound design for a more immersive experience.
01. Sólmóðr (eng. "The Sun's Wrath")
Northern Landscape. Fields and mountains. War.
Cultural and historical reconnection with ancestors.
02. Vættirdans (eng. "The Spirit Dance")
Shamanic ritual. Rhythms that put you into a trance.
Dances of forest spirits. Fear.
03. Skógarkveðr (eng. "Whispers Of The Forest")
The Song of the Forest. Reconnecting with nature and your own body.
The spirits of the north haunt throughout the journey.
Spirits of the war dead, spirits of the forest, spirits who come to the sound of rituals.
