Gjallarhorn features world music with roots in the Swedish folk music of Finland. A personal and talented echo of the ancient folk music tradition of Scandinavia with its mythical medieval ballads, whirling minuets, prayers in runo-metric chanting and ancient Icelandic r'mur epics.
Most ancient musical cultures around the world have similarities and use different elements for the same function in their music. Gjallarhorn has found a way to combine these elements:

THE FIDDLES
are the most common instruments in the instrumental tradition, the viola brings depth and variation to the second voices and supports the old sound of octavation with twin fiddles.
THE VOCALS
feature ornaments and microtonality from the Scandinavian traditional way of singing, with elements of improvisation and influences from indian classical music. The arrangements of the voice layers bring out the harmonisation of the Scandinavian folk music.
THE AUSTRALIAN DIDGERIDOO
features one of the basic elements of Scandinavian music - the drone. It keeps up the constant shamanistic pulse of the old tunes, traditionally produced by the jaws harp and sympathetic strings on the instruments.
THE AFRO-CUBAN, CUBAN, INDIAN & MIDDLE-EASTERN PERCUSSION
brings back the beat to the music, in the old days the shaman drum was a common instrument among the people of the north.
