Ginnungagaldr

by Sun and Moon Dance

/
1.
Before time and before space... Before fire converged with creeping ice... Before darkness and before light... Before man and before the holy reign... Ginnunga called from the abyss. Creations need forever lingered. Muspels fire...and Nifls ice... Together birthed a giant... That will mold and shape our world. From the nothingness of Ginnunga... Life breaks free. To live and to breathe... Creation

I traveled beyond the stars. Beyond the form of Ymirs bones. Beyond time and beyond space. There, where no light dwell. A yawning void, there at the beginning. No sound but not silence. I felt the pulse of nothing. jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn, gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi.

Ór Ymis holdi var jörð of sköpuð, en ór sveiti sær, björg ór beinum, baðmr ór hári, en ór hausi himinn. En ór hans brám gerðu blíð regin Miðgarð manna sonum, en ór hans heila váru þau in harðmóðgu ský öll of sköpuð. Of Ymir’s flesh was earth created, of his blood the sea, of his bones the hills, of his hair trees and plants, of his skull the heaven; and of his brows the gentle powers formed Midgard for the sons of men; but of his brain the heavy clouds are all created. Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði, vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir, jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn, gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi. English: Of old was the age when Ymir lived; Sea nor cool waves nor sand there were; Earth had not been, nor heaven above, But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere.

Óðinn, deep are the oceans of blood. Óðinn, from the giant the world is born. Óðinn, the mountains of bones carry me. Óðinn, this world so beautiful. Ymir

about

The album was inspired by a journey I took back to the pre creation time of the world. I remember following the stars and telling myself to keep going to the end and see where it leads. When I got to the end I passed through a veil of sorts and when I passed through I felt this pulse. It was the most empty feeling Ive ever felt that took over my body. I felt this pulsating sound that I was able to recreate using digital waves. It was a pulse of nothingness. I chose to use this sound and tell a story of creation through chaos. Nature is creation and creation will find a way to break free even when bound.

about

Sun and Moon Dance North Carolina

We're seed and tree with roots deep into earth and branches stretching to the heavens. We are the voice of creation…from the smallest of creatures to the mightiest of beasts. We are songs of dancing fire, whirling wind, flowing water and the standing stone. We are pain and sorrow woven into hope and beauty. We are forest and meadow… the mountain and river. We are what was and what is becoming. ... more
