______________________________________ Yggdrasil er eitt norðurlendskt ensemble, ið hevur heimstað í Føroyum. Hon varð stovnað í 1981 og hevur altíð fevnt um tónleikarar úr øðrum londum. Kristian Blak er klaverleikari, stovnari og høvuðstónaskald í bólkinum. Hann hevur skrivað fleiri stórverk í svituformi til Yggdrasil, flestu av hesum eru útgivin á Tutl Records.

Yggdrasil hevur, frá byrjan av, havt eitt serstakt hugtak. Flestu kompositiónir eru gjørdar í samstarvi við aðrar listagreinar ella í summum førum við náttúruna. Tónleikarar, sum hava verið partur av bólkinum, antin á langtíðarstøði ella sum luttakarar í ávísari verkætlan, hava ymiskar tónleikaligar bakgrundir, serliga í jazzi, men eisini í etniskum, fólkatónleiki, rock- og klassiskum tónleiki. Meðan verkini draga hugskot ella tema úr tjóðskaparligum tilfari, so er improvisatión alt frá fríum til klassiskum stíli.

Gjøgnum árini hava nógvir tónleikarar og listafólk stuðlað verkætlanum hjá Yggdrasil, sum fevna um myndlist, skaldskap, ballett, opera, konsertir í grottum; og alneyðugt fyri Yggdrasil-hugtakið er, at persónligheitin hjá hvørjum einstøkum limi í bólkinum verður hoyrd ella sædd. Hetta ger ljóðið hjá Yggdrasil sanniliga serstakt.

ggdrasil is a Nordic ensemble, based in the Faroe Islands. Formed in 1981, it has always included musicians from other countries. Kristian Blak is pianist, founder and the main composer of the group. He has written several large scale works in suite form for Yggdrasil, most of these released on Tutl Records. Y

Yggdrasil has, from its inception, had a distinct concept. Most compositions have been created in collaboration with other forms of art or, in some cases, with nature. Musicians that have been part of the ensemble, whether on long-term basis or as participants in a particular project, have varied musical backgrounds, mainly in jazz, but also in ethnic, folk, rock and classical music. While the works draw ideas or themes from ethnic material, improvisation ranges from free to classical style.

Over the years, many musicians and artists have contributed to Yggdrasil’s projects, which include visual art, poetry, ballet, opera, concertos in grottos; and essential to the Yggdrasil concept is that the personality of each individual member of the ensemble be heard or seen. This makes Yggdrasil’s sound truly unique.
