weirdest thing is that when i read your comment in the exact moment Einar said that in the video same time i read it in my head :D

A tip: you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

@Sonny Ahmad yea, I have been using flixzone for years myself :D

@@BoneBGone synchronicity, a reminder of youre on the path. Be aware of those moments, to reflect.

Odin was sending him us!

How about now with the latest album Kvitravn? I love it.

Piotr Szczerbiński How was it?

This first song he plays was ar var Alda, and the seconds one was vindavla.

Easy to build...;)

Very nice!

Check Wardruna's album Skald, if you haven't already ;)

@@TheStorm1210 no, It's Vindavla.

It's Norwegian! We've got two official languages up here - Einar sings in Nynorsk,used mainly in western Norway. Very poetic compared to the more commonly Bokmål language. 🙂

@@steinovemjeldheim5132 thank you!!!! Now I want to learn how to speak it lol

The first one he played was ar var alda

He singing in old Norse, so I'd say it's closer to Icelandic rather than Norwegian.

Happiness Is a Journey Dr. Jackson Crawford talks about the correlation between Old Norse and Icelandic in one of his videos.

J. Sleeka old norse was split into two groups old western norse, what later became islandsk, norsk and färöer and old eastern norse what later became svensk and dansk. so norwegian and icelandic come from the same branch of old norse. but since Iceland was more isolated thn norway, it kept the language more or less unchanged and it is still the closest to old norse.

Are you sure about this? I mean, do you speak either of these tongues, or has someone who does confirmed it to you? I don't, but it sounds pretty Norwegian, plus composing such a work in a dead tongue would be, while not impossible, quite an accomplishment.

the old norse is very close to the icelandic language today - although we do not speak in that way today,we can understand it pretty well.

It might not be here but I'm pretty sure it's often tuned to D A D

@@fryingpan3503 Either that or a step higher to E B E

from reading comments on videos people found his tuning nut doesnt sound like his he hand makes his instruments so his will always sound unique

Bengt Svenson sorry but that's not musically possible. Sure his harp may have a unique sound from how he builds them, but someone else will always be able to match the tuning. I'm pretty sure he's tuned to the standard jouhikko tuning, drone in the middle, a fourth above on the bottom string, and a fifth above on the top string. Sounds like F, B flat, E flat possibly. Could be wrong though.

ah ok thanks im not quite educated when it comes to knowing music alls i know is that it sounds great lol

Hey man, i think that it´s in D#m, the first string is in D#, the second one in Bb, and the third in D# again but one octave lower. It´s the power chord of D#m. Greetings from Tenerife, The Canary Islands.

Oftentimes he uses standard Jouhikko tuning as described three replies back, but in this case I think he is tuned in open fifths, so a B flat, an F, and a B flat an octave below. I am a Jouhikko maker, and I use both of these tunings: the open fifth kind is more in the style of the Shetland Gue rather than of the Jouhikko.

I'm a girl but wish I could grow a beard!

Eb-Bb-Eb

use your ears, discover the sound yourself, there in lies the magic

I'm pretty certain the 2nd half is "Ansur" off their album Yggdrasil.

Vindavla

Einar Selvik performance at The Nordic House, Reykjavik. 24.09.2016

no clue he created them himself and isnt part of the wardruna's version of this song

I believe its a poem from one of the Edda's which I am unsure...

I think it's CGG but i could be wrong

@@MegaChevy65 Thanks for the reply! I'll try that on mine and see if it sounds the same!

@@emilsundelin1764 Several tunings sounds more or less the same on his song...like CGC/DAD/EBE

Uneducated comment.
