Kulning / herding calls - Myrkur

[@headfirst6227]

Another one that makes me homesick for somewhere that I’ve never been.

[@itspaulasiqueira]

My exact thoughts!

[@AndromedanNomad]

@Breetai Zentraedi was just going to say that. Maybe a past life as a Swedish herder?

[@Unvoyagetokyoite]

I’ve felt the same during so many years. I took a DNA test and found out that I am Scandinavian. I thought my ancestors were only African and asian... now I am connecting with my Scandinavian cousins thanks to the test. If you feel it, maybe there is a really good reason ☺️

Same, but maybe that's because im scandinavian-

I've seen so many people saying their pets react to these type of sounds, so I tried it out with my guinea pig. She's the queen of the laziness and never reacts whenever we call her or make some noise nex to her, but the moment she heard this vid she instantly started to look for it (and I've been playing videos next to her for hours without getting any signal or reaction). I guess this was pretty fun and interesting to try out!

[@and1158]

Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg based a few of his classical music compositions for piano and for orchestra on kulokker that he had heard. An early Norwegian opera includes a soprano aria that is half aria and half kulning. Kulning features in the music of some Scandinavian folk groups, for example Gjallarhorn and Frifot.- source wiki.

This is fascinating. We have a similar but different cattle calling tradition here (in this particular region of rural Appalachia). I wonder if it is derived from yours, but branched off two or three centuries ago.

[@scottmckenzie4635]

[@johnbraswell339]

It's definitely related. The celts were neighbors of the Scandinavians and Norwegians the first king of Dublin was actually Viking...

The calling... An overlooked way of letting a being hear the direction and follow the heart to its way. If one puts its mind and body in the correct order, one can find a very old feeling that will touch the soul as tears will flow. With such manifestation the trees, the land, the water, the air carry this energy through time where the echo will remain for when it's needed. It is one of many pieces that are Life.
