Gydja
Gydja (an Old Norse word for priestess) is the work of graphic designer and writer, Abby Helasdottir, who has been exploring music since 1995. Although begun with the aim of creating sounds that could be used for magickal and shamanic purposes, the approach has since broadened, with music of both a mundane and magickal nature being produced. Works designed specifically for magickal use sit alongside explorations of sound for sound’s sake; and in a third tier, some exploration of sound contain magickal themes, even if there is no practical magickal application intended.
