Beautifully cinematic, capturing the essence and allure of this ancient mystical creature. Great piece, Jim!

"Ondine"
Valhjim

Water world, ancient, primeval,
nymph of the Ocean, beloved
of gods, both male and female,

flowing with the tide,
your mesmerizing melody 
lures men to the depth

of their dreams.

Sensual shape of woman
and marine creature,
you appear in slumber

in a wet world of desire
and endless longing

that leaves us stranded,
adrift in the sand
and the foam

of your mystery
and sensuous 

beauty.

Hope you like the music
and the poem.

Thanks for listening
and for your kind comments.

Ondine

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.
