Heddal


Heddal is a contemporary cinematic exploration of the mythical Scandinavian soundworld, inspired in equal measure by the tales of the Northmen and contemporary Nordic Noir scoring. With a special selection of folk instruments, an array of original and evocative ensembles, and a wealth of processed instruments, Heddal is a rite of transition from ancient to modern musical storytelling. Recorded in a historic stave church, every note is infused with atmosphere and character—perfect for historical drama, fantasy-themed game music, gritty drama, or whatever sagas your next project might need.
