Einar Selvik Workshop: The Thoughts and Tools Behind Wardruna

Einar speaks about his approach to Norse historical music and the extensive creative concept behind Wardruna’s ongoing ‘Runaljod’ trilogy as well as his approach and study of the runes and other Norse esoteric arts. He will demonstrate a selection of the oldest Nordic instruments, play fully acoustic Warduna music and there will be room for questions from the audience.

Ivar Bjørnson’s BardSpec

The Bardspec is the ambient project/band from Enslaved composer/guitarist Ivar Bjørnson. It features the set-up of Ivar, his computer, a few strings, a pedal or two and sometimes a trapeze artist (!). The direction is dark, surprisingly rhythmic and hypnotic. Thematically in sound and concept, The Bardspec is about minimising, cutting away, subtracting and meditating upon the simplest essence of ‘things’; the single points, bones and salt particles, the basic elements and building blocks that make up the whole.
