1. Bonny Sweet Robin

A mediaeval song about a boy who wants to sleep with a girl. The girl points out that her mother would be furious. The boy responds saying he'll buy her mother a bottle of wine and that will surely put everything to rest. If only everything in life were that easy...

Аддис Абеба - Раггамафин

Nebala means primordial mist in the earliest Nordic language, interpreted as the abyss of absolute potentiality. It is the name of the music project envisioned by singer and songwriter Jonas Lorentzen. Grounded within an interdisciplinary framework, Jonas Lorentzen has teamed up with philosopher Naina Gupta and Old Norse expert Mathias Nordvig to explore the deep Indo-Germanic connections between Nordic and Vedic culture. In collaboration with the neo-classical and electronic composer Sebastian Gainsborough from the Bristol music scene, using traditional frame drums, lyre, tagelharpa, Tibetan singing bowls, and throat singing, Jonas Lorentzen has developed a unique Indo-Nordic sound for Nebala that toys with timescapes, soundscapes, and cultural boundaries to bring you back to the primordial experience of music itself.

All the songs are based on Old Norse mythology and runic inscriptions from Scandinavia. They are written in the now extinct proto-Nordic language that existed in the Germanic Iron Age, long before the Viking Age. The songs are informed by an original sexual theory proposed by Naina Gupta and symbolic mythological interpretations by Mathias Nordvig, exploring ancient sex and sexuality and creativity in Nordic culture; as in Old Norse mythology, poetry and song come from sexual creativity.

Hanacpachap

My version of The Three Ravens an English folk song, originally published in 1611 by Thomas Ravenscroft, but the tune is perhaps older than that.
The original lyrics are:
There were three ravens sat on a tree,
down a down, hay down, hay down,
There were three ravens sat on a tree,
with a down,
There were three ravens sat on a tree,
They were as black as they might be.
With a down, derrie, derrie, derrie, down, down.
The one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we our breakfast take?
Down in yonder green field,
There lies a Knight slain under his shield,
His hounds they lie down at his feet,
So well they can their Master keep,
His Hawks they fly so eagerly,
There's no fowl dare him come nie
Down there comes a fallow Doe,
As great with young as she might go,
She lift up his bloody head,
And kissed his wounds that were so red,
She got him up upon her back,
And carried him to earthen lake,
She buried him before the prime,
She was dead her self ere even-song time.
God send every gentleman,
Such hawks, such hounds, and such a Leman.

Skutaj is a solo project that seeks to reimagine early music and folk music, typically drawing from medieval and renaissance dance music sources. Skutaj was formed with the idea of creating an atmosphere that draws the listener into another realm using mostly acoustic and period instruments. My early influences come from punk, gothic industrial, electronic, and experimental music, but later I fell in love with early music and began studying the recorder, shawm, baritone ukulele, and drum, which are all used in my music. Skutaj began in April 2020 as a creative challenge with my sister, Amanda Johnson, who is a fine art painter in Florida to produce some creative output every day for 30 days to counteract the isolation we felt at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. The tunes I recorded are collected in my "Covid19 30 Day Isolation Challenge" playlist on SoundCloud. Since then I've been remixing and remastering some of these tunes as well as producing more and making them available on Spotify, Apple Music, and elsewhere. My visual art attempts to draw the viewer into an abstracted other-dimensional world.
