Sólstafir (IS) Fjara


Sólstafir
Fjara

from the Svartir Sandar album (2011)
@ Don't Panic Films


"La conceptualización para "Fjara" comenzó en julio de 2011 y comenzó a producirse a fines de septiembre. La historia sigue a una mujer joven que soporta una carga pesada y trágica, obsesivamente arrastrando tras de sí un gran ataúd de madera. Sus intenciones son inciertas, pero se encuentra con los Cuatro Espíritus en el camino, la Tierra, el Desierto, los Iluminados y los Devotos, como faros que guían su camino. El propósito final de su viaje se revela lentamente a través de sus encuentros con estos Espíritus".


Fjara

Þetta er það lengsta sem ég fer.
Aldrei aftur samur maður er.
Ljóta leiðin heillar nú á ný,
daginn sem ég lífið aftur flý.

Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn,
er það samt dauði minn.
Trú mín er að allt fari ej vel.
Þessu er lokið hjá mér.

Dag sem nótt hljóðið var svo rótt.
Þrotið þol lamað bros.
Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum.
Dag sem nótt ég geng nú einn.

Grafin bein grotna í jörðunni,
eins og leyndarmálin þín
sem þú hélst forðum burt frá mér.
En blóðið þyngr´en þögnin er.

Svikin orð, grjót í kjafti þér,
rista dýpra en nokkur sár.
Brotin bönd aldrei verða söm.
Lygar eins og nöðrubit.

Þetta er það lengsta sem ég fer,
Aldrei aftur samur maður er,

Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn,
Er það samt dauði minn,
Trú mín er, að allt fari vel,
Þessu er lokið hjá mér,

Dag sem nótt, hjartað var órótt,
Þrotið þol, lamað bros,
Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum,
Dag sem nótt, ég geng nú einn,

Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn,
Er það samt dauði minn,
Trú mín er, að allt fari vel,
Þessu er lokið hjá mér,

Dag sem nótt, hjartað var órótt,
Þrotið þol, lamað bros,
Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum,
Dag sem nótt, ég geng nú einn.



Playa

Esto es lo más lejos que llegaré.
Nunca más lo mismo.
El vil camino llamándome,
el día que volví a huir de la vida.
 
Si gano esta vez,
Seguirá siendo mi fin.
Mi creencia de que nada termina bien.
Este es el final para mí.
 
Día y noche el corazón estaba intranquilo.
La voluntad rota y la sonrisa congelada.
Siguiendo adelante, con el corazón bombeando lágrimas.
Día y noche camino solo.
 
Huesos pudriéndose en la tierra,
como tus secretos
que durante mucho tiempo me ocultaste.
Pero la sangre pesa más que el silencio.
 
Palabras rotas, fragmentos en tu boca,
corte más profundo que cualquier herida.
Los votos rotos nunca volverán a ser los mismos.
Mentiras como la mordedura de la víbora.

El Mundo de Sofía

El Mundo de Sofía 

El mundo de Sofía (1991) es la novela más conocida escrita por el noruego Jostein Gaarder. Se convirtió en un auténtico bestseller, no sólo en Europa sino también en todo el mundo, siendo traducida a 54 idiomas. Usando como pretexto una trama novelesca, el autor hace una guía básica sobre la filosofía occidental. Esta novela luego fue hecha película (también llamada El mundo de Sofía) en 1999 dirigida por Erik Gustavson, también noruego. La obra trata de una pequeña de 14 años, que el 15 de junio cumplirá 15 años. Pero su vida cambia increiblemente cuando recibe una carta de un filósofo que le enseña como es el mundo desde la filosofía. Es recomendable para todos aquellos que estén realizando estudios que tengan filosofía, ya que brinda una gran información sobre los principales temas y filósofos que la misma estudia.

Norway from stophel on Vimeo.

Some pix of my last road trip in Norway. I experienced the slomotion mode with 1080/50i FX, but the quality is not what i expected. Anyway, the landscape is really amazing ... you will forget the quality ;) Some of these moves are made on ferrys - you can see the vibrations of the engine. The other moves (don't laugh) are made with the tripod on the co-driver's seat. :) At the same time i used the "smooth slow rec" mode ... it records with fourfold speed and higher compression. But you need planar roads.

This chapter we will take you to Norway Switzerland and France where people are jumping cliffs as high as 6,000 feet. Experience Zero Gravity will hopefully provide you with the feeling and the emotion that we feel when we think about the experience of Base Jumping in the most scenic locations of the world. We hope you can see this world from our eyes.

This was filmed between 29th April and 10th May 2011 in the Arctic, on the archipelago Lofoten in Norway.

My favorite natural phenomenon is one I do not even know the name of, even after talking to meteorologists and astrophysicists I am none the wiser.What I am talking about I have decided to call The Arctic Light and it is a natural phenomenon occurring 2-4 weeks before you can see the Midnight Sun.

The Sunset and Sunrise are connected in one magnificent show of color and light lasting from 8 to 12 hours. The sun is barely going below the horizon before coming up again. This is the most colorful light that I know, and the main reason I have been going up there for the last 4 years, at the exact
same time of year, to photograph. Based on previous experience, I knew this was going to be a very
difficult trip. Having lost a couple of cameras and some other equipment up there before, it was crucial to bring an extra set of everything. I also made sure I had plenty of time in case something went wrong.
If you can imagine roping down mountain cliffs, or jumping around on slippery rocks covered in seaweed with 2 tripods, a rail, a controller, camera, lenses, filters and rigging for 4-5 hour long sequences at a time, and then having to calculate the rise and fall of the tides in order to capture the essence - it all proved bit of a challenge.

And almost as if planned, the trip would turn out to become very difficult indeed. I had numerous setbacks including: airline lost my luggage, struggling to swim ashore after falling into the Arctic sea: twice, breaking lenses, filters, tripod, computer, losing the whole dolly rig and controller into the sea, and even falling off a rather tall rock and ending up in the hospital. As much as I wanted to give up, the best way Out is always “Through”. I am glad I stuck it through though because there were some amazing sunrises waiting. At 1:06 you see a single scene from day to night to day which is from 9pm to 7am. Think about that for a minute.. 10 hours with light like that.

I asked the very talented Marika Takeuchi to specifically compose and perform a song for this movie, and what she came up with is absolutely remarkable. Thank you very much Marika!

Música: Laila Yrvum (Noruega)


Podcast del programa Discópolis (Radio3/RNE), de José Miguel López.
Laila Yrvum hizo una actuación estupenda en la gala Folk de Gävle y nos fuimos a entrevistarla. Es noruega y "viajera"; nos trata de explicar qué es eso. Su productor es un viejo amigo Leiv Solberg, colega de la radio noruega en la UER. Toca segunda guitarra con ella. El primero es Oystein Sandbukt que también es profesor. Entrevistamos a ambos y oímos su música. El cuarto músico del grupo es el violinista y percusionista noruego de madre griega Oluf Dimitri Roe, que se gana la vida como oncólogo y tiene una fabulosa reputación entre los sami, el pueblo que habita el norte de Noruega, donde trabaja habitualmente. Pero no olvida sus raíces en Mikonos y dice que en lo mas profundo de su corazón la música es lo primero. También oímos su música.
