Drums.. drums in the deep...
''Miðnótt'' means midnight in old norse. Witness a group of pagans, calling spirits, abiding in a strong, calm state of mind during midnight, when the moon is out.
The big shamanic drums were recorded very close to the mic to capture the extremely deep and transcendant sub bass tones.
Featured instruments are jaw harp, bullroarer, shamanic circular breathing chants, throat singing, shell shaker, goat toes rattle, bones, torch, three 24 inch shaman drums, one 18 inch shaman drum, and a clay drum (reconstruction of a drum found in Sweden dating to the late bronze age).
Some inspiration was also drawn from Jesper Kyd's soundtrack work for AC: Valhalla and Einar Selvik's soundtrack work for the Wrath of the Druids DLC.
Gaetir has a unique approach to Germanic folk, and it touches on an aspect of the old mindset and way of life that other folk artists capture in a select few songs, not entire albums. That is the Faustian Spirit: a celebration of the majesty of the infinite expanse and the unknown, infused with awe, fear, and curiosity. Gaetir captures this sometimes destructive yet irresistible attraction to the more primordial reaches of the cosmic thread. Highly recommend listening during storms. Rúnatal
