Gjaldulei dig deep into the texts of the Icelandic sagas and the soundscapes of the Viking Age, to awaken cultural heritage and history through ancient timbres and galdering tones, seeking harmonies long forgotten. Our approach to composing the music is experimental, and has roots in musical archeology, -history, cultural history and the sagas.
