Send us a textOver the course of his career, Olav Mjelva has become something of a face of the Hardanger Fiddle, with his fiddle being heard in settings such as Rings of Power, God of War: Ragnarök, and Marvel's Loki. As well as being featured in over 60 studio projects, he is also well known in the Scandifolk scene for his work with Sver, the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc, Rydvall/Mjelva, and the Lodestar Trio. After collaborating with Einar Selvik and Ivar Bjornson for Skuggsjá, Olav has returned to sign with ByNorse for his project Afargang, whose debut album “Andvake” is looking to reimagine what Folk Metal can be. I hope you enjoy this milestone episode of the Nordic Sound, in which Olav and I discuss his upbringing as a fiddler from Røros, his love of black metal, and how his upcoming album Andvake blends these two worlds, and as always, taking little detours along the way.Timestamps:0:00 Intro1:12 Sver in the States4:38 Origin Stories10:11 Learning the Hardanger Fiddle13:00 Becoming a Studio Musician18:04 Skuggsjá23:02 Afargang37:25 Black Metal as a Folk Musician45:11 The Nordic Sound48:29 Waiting for Andvake52:22 ByNorse56:24 Norway's Folk Music boomSupport the showThe Nordic Sound is supported by its patrons over on Patreon.com/nordicsoundThe Nordic Sound is supported by its patrons:GeorgeBetsCarrieGenLeighMikeCindyClaytonDrakeEricJamieJuliaMaryMichaelMichaelSeanSimonTony

I denne episoden møter du Anne Luksengård Mjelva, daglig leder ved House of Femme i Trondheim – et unikt helse- og treningssenter skreddersydd for jenter og kvinner. Vi snakker om oppstarten, om hvordan konseptet ble tatt imot, hvem House of Femme egentlig er for og hvorfor det er viktig med et dedikert senter med fokus på kvinnehelse. Vi setter søkelyset på viktigheten av en helhetlig tilnærming til helse, med fokus på både fysisk- og mental helse, og diskuterer hvordan treningsbransjen kan tenke nytt og tilrettelegge enda bedre for denne målgruppen i fremtiden. En inspirerende prat der vi ser forbi det etablerte og åpner opp for nye perspektiver på hva det egentlig betyr å ivareta kvinnehelse i dagens samfunn. God lytt!

Jørn Kløvfjell Mjelva jobber med Tryggere Ruspolitikk for å starte opp en rusmiddelanalysetjeneste i Oslo. De har akkurat lansert en Spleis for å få dette folkefinansiert. Hvorfor bør vi teste rusmidler og hvordan kan dette redusere risikoen for uønskede reaksjoner som følge av å ta stoff med ukjent innhold og styrke. Akkurat dette snakker vi om i ukens podcast, og Jørn deler interessant informasjon om hvordan slike tiltak fungerer i andre land - og hvordan det vil fungere i Oslo.

Nå har vi fått broen mellom filmnerden og folkemusikk utøveren. Olav Luksengård Mjelva snakker om hvordan det var å legge hardingfele på Loki serien.

The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc — Bonfrost (NFB Records) Jump to CD giveaway form “There's just always been a lot of fiddle players in Shetland,” said Scottish fiddler Kevin Henderson and member of the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc. “My grandfather was a huge fan of fiddle music. That's how I got the bug.” Shetland is a small community with a rich fiddling tradition that goes back hundreds of years. The rest of the band, Norwegian fiddler Olav Luksengård Mjelva and Swedish fiddler Anders Hall represent a blending of the world's richest fiddling traditions in their latest recording, Bonfrost, a Shetland word meaning “a hard frost.” “It's a beautiful sight when the ground is frozen and you get the smoke effect going through the valley,” Henderson said. “We call it trowie. The trow are little people that live under the ground in Shetland. They are a close relative to the Norwegian troll.” Can you both talk about the different Scandinavian fiddle traditions you bring to the trio and what makes them unique? Kevin: “Historically, Shetland has a lot of links to Norway because we used to belong to them at one point. In the middle 1400's the Shetland and Orkney Islands were loaned to Scotland, as part of a dowry. They were never given back. But we've kept a lot of the culture. Scottish and Irish music came and changed the tradition a bit in Shetland. The early music has a lot of similarities to some of the old Norwegian music.” Olav: “Norwegian and Swedish music are quite similar, and you will find a lot of local variations in traditions within both countries. The most challenging thing for us is the Shetland music, which is different with more reels and jigs. We don't really have that in Norway and Sweden.”  What sets the Hardanger fiddle apart from other fiddles? Olav: “The main difference is that it has sympathetic strings, which you don't play, but they are under the fingerboard. It's usually four or five sympathetic strings and it creates a nice reverberation. The fiddle is also tuned a bit higher. In Hardanger fiddle music, the fiddle is a solo instrument and it's up to the fiddler to make their own version of the tune. It becomes an art to make a good tune.” Can you tell me about the original song Adam's' Nightmare? Kevin: “Adam Sutherland is one of Scotland's top fiddle players and composers. I play in a band called Session A9 with him. He sent me a text message one day with an audio file attached. He wanted to know if the tune in the audio file was a tune that I taught him because he'd had a dream that I had taught him this tune and we were playing it, but I didn't recognize it at all. So, I decided to write this tune in response called Adam's Nightmare.” What is the story behind Don't Drink and Dance? Olav: “The real story behind the name is that the fiddle tuning is quite specialized in the piece. The strings are D-D-A-D. I wanted a name to play with those letters, so “Don't Drink and Dance” was the best thing I could produce. There is some truth in it as well. It's a bad idea to drink and dance.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello and welcome to a rare Better Each Day podcast featuring fiddles. And fiddlers from three different countries who bring traditional folk, their own imaginations, a dash of magic and throw it in a blender. The result is nothing short of unique and refreshing. And these guys are really really good. From the moment Kevin Henderson, Olav Luksengård Mjelva and Anders Hall of The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc played together in 2009 they felt a particular chemistry in the sound they created. Today’s guest is Kevin Henderson and although he doesn’t mention the virtuosity that goes into something like this, he humbly talks about the sound they’ve created and their February 19th CD release named after a harsh frost in the Shetland Islands, Bonfrost. Some seven hundred gigs later, playing across Scandinavia, mainland Europe, the U.S. and the UK, that chemistry continues to draw the trio together. Passion is a word that comes up often in conversation with Henderson, Mjelva and Hall. It’s a word that lies behind the trio’s determination to find exactly the right tunes to play and exactly the right way to play a certain phrase (Henderson has been known to find forty different examples of them playing the  same motif stored on his mobile phone from rehearsals). Passion for the music they make is also what makes them endure forty-two-hour flights that should only have taken two–to–three hours to get to a concert rather than let the promoter and audience down. Hundreds of tunes have been tried and laid aside in The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc’s quest for the music which on two albums, their self-titled debut from 2011 and Deliverance, from 2016, has charmed listeners in the same way that their live performances beguile and satisfy. In the beginning they were intrigued. For Henderson, who grew up in the fiddle-rich tradition of the Shetland Islands, there was a mystery in hearing his Scandinavian colleagues harmonize with one another. Although Fiddlers’ Bid, the Shetland group he has played with since his teens and continues to work with, create a harmonious, four-fiddle sound, the Swedish tradition of having one fiddle play a melody and another shadowing it with a harmony line, was something new to him. The jamming sessions that led to the threesome coalescing into a group showed them that they could not only create a unique sound, they also had a richness, helped by their use of standard fiddles, octave fiddle, viola and Hardanger fiddle, that has led to them being likened to a string quartet rather than just a trio.    Folk music promoters and festivals internationally have picked up on the Bloc’s uniqueness. They have played at major events including Tønder Festival in Denmark, Scotland’s mammoth Celtic Connections winter music festival, Cape Breton’s prestigious Celtic Colours, and the annual A Celtic Christmas Sojourn in Boston.    Recognition, including a Norwegian Folk Award and a place in Songlines magazine’s Top of the World selection for their first album, has come their way and as fellow musicians including Dutch jazz violinist Tim Kliphuis invite them to participate in events such as his Rotterdam Fiddle Weekend, the trio have opened their ears to future possibilities in the jazz and classical spheres. As dedicated tradition bearers, they have also created their own annual fiddle camp, which has taken place in Norway (2018) and Sweden (2019) and is due to visit Shetland next, while seeking out the tunes that will emerge on their much-anticipated third album in 2020.

Hvorfor er debatten om ACER så vanskelig å forstå? Er dette en debatt for eller mot EU, et klimaspørsmål, om norske arbeidsplasser eller en frykt for økte strømpriser? Vi har undersøkt dette nærmere og har snakket med sjefen i EnerWe, Chul Christian Aamodt, for å se om han kunne hjelpe oss å strukturere for og imot, og forstå hva dette handler om.   Artikkelen vi nevner, som hjalp oss forstå dette litt bedre, er skrevet av Hans K.
