Nordic folkmusic on nyckelharpa by Myrkur

The instrument is a nyckelharpa and the song is 'Gammelkäring', a traditional in the style of Hanne Kjersti Yndestad. The nyckelharpa pieces are partly written by me and partly inspired by Folk och Rackare. I filmed by a lake in Northern Denmark and the mist was hanging heavily after the rain.

[@AnurB666]

you shold record an album only with folk music, it is so perfect

[@myrkur]

I am thinking of writing an acoustic dark folk record as my next release

[@AnurB666]

[@oswintheslayer]

That would be great, I know I speak for most of us when I say that we would love an album like that! Awesome as always! Love you!

[@andresm2426]

[@northidaho]

Its the full moon as of right now, I live in a forest. I don't think any camera will ever capture how beautiful a moonlit forest is. I heard this song and I felt as if I had to go out and dance in the moonlit forest, thank you for this masterpiece

[@jacklucas2428]

im a piano student of 20 years and guitar of 10 years - the sound of this instrument is like nothing ive ever heard other than in movies! yet you play it like it was a companion in your mothers womb. please continue making videos, people like you are the reason people like me get inspiration and motivation to keep playing

[@SchmokinJoe]

_"yet you play it like it was a companion in your mothers womb."_ That's one of the most poetic things I've ever seen.👍

who needs to study for finals when you can listen to Nordic Folk music

[@evanstephen300]

I love the similarity with arabic folk music, the drone is everything! You can also hear the roots of Irish music in this one piece so much

[@Catastrofius]

6 months ago I would never had said this, but this genre is much better for you than metal.

[@fastcarenjoyer8008]

Agreed

[@keithelliott7471]

Xeph Xen That's definitely a thing.

[@MrBern91]

This genre is metal a f xD Many nordic metal bands have borrowed elements from the roots of folk music :)

[@chocolatepudding1241]

Well metal helps me release my aggression and negativity and makes me feel strong, and calm music helps with my anxiety so I think people should just listen to and make the music that they want

[@EMPtaticz]

@@chocolatepudding1241 Buddhists believed in harnessing the power of positive and negative both light and dark you can't have one without the other it'd only make sense for an artist to want to release both feelings as more artists should its good for the soul.

[@danielg2294]

We Swedes don't mind our neighbours playing our instrument when it's this beutiful

[@MinecraftRick]

We hardly have a monopoly on the nyckelharpa. It belongs to the Danes as much as it belongs to us.

[@wyattmichaelproductions]

Well if we wanna be technical, most Germanic peoples came from Denmark, and southern parts of Scandinavia. So our cultures are all related

[@Sorlendingen82]

then as a Norwegian, i should add, we would kick Your ass if you tried, like in almost everything else. hehe all Scandinavia agree this is positive, and if they don't they are not on Our side, they are fools. This is reality.

[@maestromarket]

@@Sorlendingen82 the only thing you kick ass at is finding oil. without it you would be a third world country

[@whengrapespop5728]

@@maestromarket Actually, that’s not entirely true. It’s a misconception that Norway was poor before they found oil. In 1950, Norway was right below average amongst the 16 richest OECD countries. Hard to know how Norway would be today without the oil, but the odds weren’t low before Norway had oil. Also, it’s pretty cool for Norwegians that they can claim the origin of Vikings, just as a historical bonus.😄

Its not norwegian. Its a bastard between danish, norwegian and swedish. Cudos for her learning that. It was what scandinave spoke before 1845. Then came the french and british empires. Bokkmål, skånsk and dansk can attest to that.
