The film Idyll Idun has many connections to the rock opera Whisperwood (www.whisperwood.com), but is not actually part of the Whisperwood project. Eric (Ebbingwise) made the film in 2003 at Humboldt State University, before recording of Whisperwood began.
Connections to Whisperwood:
--Idyll Idun is the name of a song that was removed from Whisperwood (you can download it from the Whisperwood website).
--The song Idyll Idun was sung by Heather, the voice of Muirigheal on the CD.
--The actress in the film is Heather.
--The soundtrack to the film is excerpts from Tale of Lokai, Song of Songs, and A Flower in Your Meadow, all of which are songs from Whisperwood (The soundtrack was recorded separately from the CD in 2003 at Humboldt State University).
--The voice over narration in the film is Eric, who is also the narrative voice of Elric on the CD and primary creator of Whisperwood.
--Idyll Idun is an exploration of the human connection to and relationship with the natural world, and therefore loosely connected to Whisperwood thematically.
This music is magical and the imagery suits the mood it creates.
