      @6:58 you ask how Native American music and Scandinavian music could be linked. It's recently become accepted that the Vikings most-likely had contact and trade with the Americas. There would have been a great deal of artistic trade between them if the paleontology record is correct. We know the Vikings went at least as far as Greenland, and evidence has been found further west in the north-east of the US and Canada region with structures similar to Scandinavian architecture and iron forges (the Native Americans never mastered iron working). Hopi history also talks about "the white haired people of the North," indicating an oral tradition that Nordic people were known as far west as the plains region of the USA. In short, there most-likely is a link between the sounds of Scandinavian and Native American music.

    It's not an applied echo to her voice in production, it's literally natural echoes from the landscape. She's singing very high up on a steep cliff with a huge fjord and mountains all around! It's her voice bouncing on the landscape creating a natural echo.

    • @Apple_Ryan
      @Apple_Ryan Před 10 měsíci +48

      So i have been a sound engineer for about 10 years and i can tell you now that. That is applied "Echo" its actually Tap delay really so natural echo from the suroundings would not be in perfect time like its heard here and natural echo has a completly different tone to what is being heard here which is much more digital. Tap delay is Tapped in by the sound engineer and matches the songs tempo perfectly like this we hear here. Really easy to over use but this engineer did a very good job at using it only at the right times to emphasize what the artist is doing at the correct time making sure to pull it out at the correct time as well.The other thing that will you can 100% be sure of is that the speakers you see here would not be loud enough cause an echo over that size of landscape enough to be heard over the type of Microphone she is using. That is just 3 Line array tops and looks like 1 Double 18 per side and which looks like a single 15 or speaker for side fill on the stage on your left hand side... That looks like a Sennheiser 965 or 945 or something similar which is what they call a Super cardiod microphone which actually cuts out sound coming from the sides and slightly from the back of the microphone as well to eliminate feedback on stage with monitors.If it was a cardiod it actually cancels all sound from the back of the microphone. So it impossible that the "Echo" is from the landscape but it is a very well exicuted Tap Delay by the engineer

    Way late to the party but you mention extra reverb or resonance, while her voice has a ton of layering, if you listen very carefully, you can actually hear the echos when she hits her more powerful belts. The sound is echoing off the cliffs of the valley they are in. The effect of the natural amphitheater combined with her voice is otherworldly. Fantastic analysis as always.

    I believe the shivers are coming from a kind of ancient call which is in her singing, her voice.
    its speaking to our subconciousness, the tribal part of our soul, together with the breathtaking scenery it just pulls you in.
    it is a spell, no doubt, and it works and can be understand without knowing the language.
    Its the same with Wardruna and Heilung.
    Music is emotion, is magic, language without words and if the artist really embrace it, then one can become a sorcerer.

Like there's genuine joy when you're enjoying things, and you're really open about how you feel about the music and take the time to explain things for people who may not understand how something works the way it does. It's like enjoying the music with a fellow fan in a way, and at the same time learning more about singing. Thank you for taking the time to react to and analyze such an amazing performer as Eivør.♥

    I’ve loved her music for years and years. Back in high school (like 2012ish), I was super into Björk’s music and found Eivør that way. She’s got some fantastic music.
    Falling Free is probably my favorite song of hers. Her live versions of it are mesmerizing. She has a folk-y side (like for the song you reacted to) but she’s also got a modern pop side, which is where Falling Free tends to lean towards. She definitely can belt.

      In Iceland we sometimes speak on our inhalation 🙈 Most common when saying "yes" or "no" . I also use it sometimes when saying "well,I don't know '. I'm assuming they do it in the Faroe Islands too as the languages are really close. We can to som degree understand each other when speaking. And no problems when reading. So for her making sound on the inhalation was not as shocking to me. Eivør is amazing singer. She's been singing a lot in Iceland in Icelandic too .

    The echo is the fjord behind her.
    Fascinating to see you discover her. And the shivers you get? It's the higher self reaching out.

    Never heard this type of Nordic music before. But I love folk music from anywhere. I love the feeling of a place that such music gives!! Thank you again Elizabeth!!

    Having had the pleasure of watching her perform live, she does indeed fill the entire stage with her sound and presence. She is is one of my favourite performers. A voice tp fill a fjord.

    You're a delightful vocal nerd. Passion and art are infectious. I'm so glad you did Eivor. Eivor's voice is a living thing. She births sound into the air, and it lives forever. That's how I feel about Eivor.

    There were moments there as the emotion of the singer was high, that I was smiling, and then you stop, your joy comes forward, and I empathise with your joy and frankly it needs a moment to sink in. Then wow, smile, woah, smile and then tears well up! The performance and your reaction were immense - thank you!
