Fornjót
Fornjót (Old Norse: ''Fornjótr'') is a jötunn in Norse mythology, and the father of Hlér ('sea'), Logi ('fire') and Kári ('wind'). It is also the name of a legendary king of " Finnland and Kvenland". The principal study of this figure is by Margaret Clunies Ross.Margaret Clunies Ross,Snorri Sturluson’s use of the Norse origin-legend of the sons of Fornjótr in his ''Edda'', ''Arkiv för Nordisk Filologi'', 98 (1983), 47–66. Name The etymology of the Old Norse name ''Fornjótr'' remains unclear. It is often interpreted as ''forn-jótr'' ('ancient or primordial jötunn'), or as ''for-njótr'' ('original owner', or 'destroyer'). Alternative meanings such as ''Forn-njótr'' ('one-who-enjoys-sacrifices') or ''Forn-þjótr'' ('ancient screamer') have also been proposed. According to Peter Erasmus Müller (1818), Fornjótr could be interpreted as the "original owner" (''primus occupans vel utens'') of Norway. An Old English cognate of ''Fornjótr'' may appear in a plant-n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vespertine
''Vespertine'' is the fourth studio album by Icelandic recording artist Björk. It was released on 27 August 2001 in the United Kingdom by One Little Independent Records and in the United States by Elektra Entertainment. Production on the album began during the filming of ''Dancer in the Dark''. With ''Vespertine'', Björk aspired to create an album with an intimate and domestic feeling, deviating from the brash sonority of her previous studio album ''Homogenic'' (1997). The musical style of the album reflected Björk's newly found interest in the minimal and intricate electronic music of producers such as Opiate, Console and the duo Matmos, who were all enlisted for the album. With the rising popularity of Napster and music downloads, she also composed arrangements with thin, "icy" sounding instruments whose quality would not be compromised when downloaded and played on a computer, including the harp, the celesta, clavichord, strings and custom music boxes. Assisted by Matmos, B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
