Raven Brings Runes (2022)
This is an Nordic Animism inspired music project based on a collaboration between the musicians Kjell Braaten ,Christine Kammerer, HC Molbech, the illustrator Sara Bøgh and Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen.
The track can be found on this linktree: https://hypeddit.com/ravenferd/ravenbringsrunes
Read more about the concept and idea behind the project here
The objective of the project is to affect cultural transformation by communicating the recovery of Nordic traditional knowledge of kinship with the other-than-human community of beings, an Animist knowledge that lies in our shared cultural heritage.
The music video shows the global retaking of the Raven symbol. It aims at conveying how this symbol connects people across cultures and countries. Hence the project aims at building a bridge between cutting edge cultural research and popular culture.
Whisky and Witches (2022)
An immersive multi-sensory whisky tasting developed in collaboration with Jane Ross, owner of the whisky bar Mother Superior, Edinburgh. The first was held in November 2022 and sold out in a matter of weeks! It was such a success that we are putting on another event in December.
5 otherworldly, special whiskies, 5 chilling tales, 10 songs.
Join us on a multi-sensory, chilling journey through the whiskey regions of Scotland – including a special International Surprise – and experience the darker side of Scottish and Scandinavian folklore and music, as we walk over the threshold to the darkest part of the year.
The music will be a combination of Scottish and Nordic folk music, interpreted by the Danish singer, lyre player and composer Christine Kammerer, and her original compositions.
The stories and music chosen for this special Samhain/Halloween edition of this event are tailored to elevate your experience of the whisky and deepening the connection to the story and soul behind the drink. And to the ghosts and ghouls, and darker creatures of folklore and myth which inhabit these hauntingly beautiful regions.
