about

IS
Geisladiskurinn Himinglæva er sjálfstætt framhald af geisladisknum
mínum Hefring. Hefring og Himinglæva eru dætur sjávargyðjunnar Ránar
og jötunsins og sjávarkóngsins Ægis. Rán og Ægir eiga níu dætur og bera þær allar nöfn hafsins, en hvert og eitt nafn dætranna endurspeglar mismunandi einkenni og bylgjur hafsins. Lögin á Himinglævu voru samin og tekin upp á árunum 2012 – 2016.
Ljóðin í Haustið Nálgast, Tunglið og Vorið kemur eru eftir Stefán frá Hvítadal (1887-1933). Sofðu nú er samið við gamla íslenska bæn sem höfð var yfir börnum og er að finna í þjóðkvæðasafni Einars Ólafs Sveinssonar, Fagrar heyrði ég raddirnar. Börnin sem syngja bakraddir í Sofðu nú eru systurbörn mín Lára Ruth Clausen og Bjartur Clausen.

EN
Himinglæva is an independent sequel to my first album, Hefring. In Nordic mythology, Hefring and Himinglæva are the daughters of the sea goddess Rán, and the giant Ægir, king of the ocean. Rán and Ægir have nine daughters in total and their names all evoke qualities of the ocean. The songs on Himinglæva were composed and recorded between 2012 and 2016.
The lyrics in Haustið Nálgast, Tunglið and Vorið Kemur, are by Stefán frá Hvítadal (1887-1933). The lyrics in Sofðu nú are an old Icelandic prayer told to children.
The children who sing the backing vocals in Sofðu nú are my niece and nephew.

Himinglæva ist die unabhängige Forsetzung zu meinem ersten Album Hefring. In der nordischen Mythologie sind Hefring und Himinglæva Töchter der Meeresgöttin Rán und des Riesen Ægir, König des Meeres. Rán und Ægir haben insgesamt neun Töchter, deren Namen verschiedene Eigenschaften des Meeres beschreiben. Songs auf Himinglæva wurden in der Zeit zwischen 2012 und 2016 komponiert und aufgenommen.
Die Texte zu Haustið Nálgast, Tunglið und Vorið Kemur stammen von Stefán frá Hvítadal (1887-1933). Der Text in Sofðu nú ist ein altes isländisches Gebet für Kinder. Der Hintergrundgesang auf Sofðu nú wurde von meiner Nichte und meinem Neffen eingesungen.

IT
Himinglæva é un seguito singolare del mio primo CD, Hefring. Nella mitologia nordica, Hefring e Himinglæva sono le figlie della dea del mare Rán ed il gigante Ægir, re dell ́oceano. Le figlie di questi dei sono in tutto nove ed i loro nomi richiamano gli attributi dell’oceano. Le musiche di Himinglæva sono state composte e registrate durante gli anni 2012-2016.
Le poesie Haustið Nálgast, Tunglið e Vorið Kemur” sono di Stefán frá Hvítadal (1887-1933), mentre le poesie nel Sofðu nú sono contenute nelle antiche preghiere islandesi recitate ai bambini. I bambini che cantano le seconde voci in Sofðu nú, sono i miei cari nipotini.

Haustið nálgast - Autumn approaches - Der Herbst naht – Arriva l’Autunno

Bærinn - The farm - Der Hof - La fattoria

Sofðu nú - Sleep now - Schlaf jetzt - Ora dormi

Ein út á sjó - Lost at sea – Verschollen auf See - Persa nel mare
