The Nordic Sound, a Nordic Musicology Podcast
What is the Nordic sound? Is there even a Nordic sound to begin with? Why has the music of the North long invited so much popular attention and imagination across the centuries? Join musicologist Jameson Foster as he explores the very question of music and Nordic cultural heritage through interviews with some of the most prominent musicians in the Nordic music scene today across genres, from black metal, to classical and trad folk, and everything in between.
Remember: No Nazis in Valhalla.

#33 - Chris Welsh of Sun and Moon Dance
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In a first for the channel, multi-instrumentalist and folk musician Chris Welsh sits down with me in my own living room to talk about his storied career with over a decade as Sun and Moon Dance, his multiple collaborations with some Nordic Sound Channel fan favorites, and his perspectives as an American working in the Nordic music scene. Along the way, Chris reflects on the importance of animism and land stewardship in his creative voice, some minor grievances with the dark folk scene, and his own work cleaning up thousands of pounds of litter from the North Carolina wilderness with his Clean Sacred Lands project and how it relates back to his music.
