magical and mystical befitting the god of the sea 🙌

Trident in hand I've travelled through this awesome soundscape, love the bells at the start and the percussion sounds great, beautiful voices to finish the piece.

Priestess of Avalon

"There (on the Island of Apples) nine sisters rule by a pleasing set of laws those who come to them from our country. She who is first of them is more skilled in the healing art, and excels her sisters in the beauty of her person. Morgen is her name."  - Geoffrey of Monmouth

Serenade of Shadows: Dream Revery in two Parts
Valhjim 2023.

A captivating orchestral composition that draws listeners into an enigmatic dreamscape. The first part, characterized by an andante tempo, features persistent obstinato movements in the strings, creating an atmosphere of mysterious beauty and anticipation. A passionate piano bridge serves as a poignant transition between the two parts, intensifying the emotional depth. In the second part, the andante pace continues, with heightened obstinato movements in the strings symbolizing the inexorable passage of time. The inclusion of passionate piano, female vocalizing, and the resonant tones of brass instruments and electric guitar adds layers of intensity and emotion to the orchestral tapestry. This musical odyssey weaves a narrative of mystery, melancholy, and passionate introspection, leaving an indelible impression of enchantment on the listener's soul.

MEDITATION ONE
Valhjim

"Meditation One" invites listeners into a sonic realm where the ethereal meets the earthly, weaving a tapestry of transcendent soundscapes that seamlessly blend guitar, synth pads, and versatile drums. This musical journey unfolds with recurrent harmonies, guiding the audience through moments of introspection and contemplation. As solo guitar lines gracefully dance over the canvas of swelling textured pads, the landscape is further enriched by the subtle interplay of reverse guitar chords, male choirs, and the enchanting whispers of the flute. Each element converges to create an immersive experience, inviting listeners to surrender to the enchanting ebb and flow of "Meditation One."

Thanks to Martin Miers for playing drums
on this one. 

Listen to it preferably on headphones.

Magnificent Desolation

Nycteris and the Lamp
Valhjim

Embark on a journey into the solitary world of "Nycteris and the Lamp," a haunting melody that whispers of a young maiden's lonely existence within the confines of a castle tower. Born into darkness, her only companion is the gentle glow of a solitary lamp, casting shadows upon walls untouched by the sun or moon. 

Through ethereal choirs and cascading synthesizers, the song envelops listeners in the eerie tranquility of her secluded life.

"Nycteris and the Lamp" is a testament to the power of music to evoke emotion and transport listeners to realms unknown.

(Included in the album "Photogen and Nycteris: An Electronic Rock Fantasia.")

Hope you like it, folks.

"Shibboleth"

"Shibboleth" is a fun track with a brief motif that separates sections. This is me just having fun with some improvisations on guitar, tongue-in-cheek. 

Hope you have fun with this one too, folks.

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
