von Wachenfeldt, Thomas - Mythos Of the Forefathers Vol.1 & 2 (CD) |-

Thomas von Wachenfeldt’s “Mythos of the Forefathers” – an ambient dark-folk work in two volumes – is a heartfelt homage to Fädernas gudasaga, a book by Swedish 19th-century scholar and author Viktor Rydberg. “Mythos of the Forefathers” was created to complement the text in each of the book’s chapters. To capture its overall mood, Thomas combined conventional compositions which adhere to form and structure with unorthodox music that evokes an archaic atmosphere. Drawing from older Nordic folk scales, he utilized traditional instruments like lyre, flutes, drums, and string instruments, while also incorporating various synthesizers to instill a sense of metaphysical wonder.
