A norwegian fellow, with a liking for folk music and instruments, pagan and historical faith, culture and art.

I am a one man band, under the name of Bjarkan; the birch, a symbol of birth, death and rebirth. URL: http://www.myspace.com/bjar...

Music is being written/discarded

I'm interested in making music that reflects the nordic history and culture.

Instruments I play and possess:
Swedish bagpipes (or, as i like to call them, Nordic bagpipes)
Tussefløyte (Norwegian recorder)
Seljefløyte (Ancient Norwegian willow overtone flute)
Various electric and acoustic guitars
Bass
Jaw Harp in G

Instruments I play, but don't possess:
Nordic Lyre (rundlyre)
Hurdy-gurdy (dreielire)

I have plans about making a gigja (Nordic bowed lyre), bondeharpe (plucked nordic harp) and ram's horns and clarinets.

PM if you're interested in co-working, by all means.

	modlcitizn0displn (3 days ago) thnx for accepting my invite =) i've never seen anyone play a lyre before!
	Vikingskog (3 weeks ago) hehe ja har profil der også, har bare ikke fått lasta opp noen der enda
	Vikingskog (3 weeks ago) link til flickr accounten min ligger i profilen her nå
	Vikingskog (3 weeks ago) Tar mange av bildene selv jo :) har ikke en fotoside selv enda, men skal lage meg en profil på flickr og legge de der snart
	ThrashFuckingBassist (1 month ago) Liker valgene dine innenfor musikk, og hjelp er ikke alle de antikke instrumentene dyre?
	kriegwald (3 months ago) You should consider covering "Sorrow of the Native Lands" by Ukrainian band Nokturnal Mortum. Very beautiful piece played on guitar and wind instrument.
	JulaneLund (3 months ago) Hi, what school were you playing the concert for on the lyre? I went to Rauland from 2001 until 2005. I'm very interested in the type of lyre that you are playing and I'm actually interested in buying one the next time I'm in Norway which will be this June. I'll be going to Landskappleiken. Will you be there by chance?
	dubafolke (3 months ago) Hi! We are D.U.B.A (Dansk Ungdosmforening i Buenos Aires) We dance scandinavian folke. Your channel is very intersting! Greeting from Argentina!
	Obladanie (5 months ago) I don't know what is your opinion, but I think that Vali - Forlatt is one of the best Folk/NeoFolk albums ever. It's simply amazing, and I think it's better than Kveldssanger.
	goofyjenta (5 months ago) Hei du! ;D Jeg har dessverre ikke flere blåfjell-sanger.. de sangene jeg har lagt ut har jeg bare fått av en venn ; ) Skulle gjerne lagt de ut hvis jeg hadde de..
