Vikings Chant

Developed over time by a group of specialists in Norse song techniques from surviving accounts of the period, SKALD is a vocal project inspired by Nordic mythology from the poetic Edda. The project originated when producer-composer Christophe Voisin-Boisvinet encountered a trio of talented singers whose voices had atypical timbres. Together they decided to breathe new life into the poetry of the ancient skalds, poets whose language - Old Norse - told stories of the Vikings and their gods.
