The Glacier's Song

Welcome back to The Glacier's Song podcast! In this episode, I dive into the importance of connecting to glaciers as our ancestors and as our elders which are -in their own geological scale of time- exhaling their last breath. I delve into why is important to be present with them in this moment, to listen, and to hold their hand. This conversation has been part of the Ancestral Arts Festival,...

This is a 7 minute podcast episode inviting you to time-travel to the year 2125 to imagine yourself as an ancestor. This is an invitation to imagine yourself being remembered by your descendants in 100 years time for choosing to be part of a group of ancestors that decided to be a bridge between humans, glaciers and time. A Glaciers Letter to the Future Humanity is being created, and you can recei...

In this episode I have an inspiring, deep and lively chat with climate anthropologist Cymene Howe. Through our various endeavours with and around Ok glacier, we dive into practises of being a good ancestor, and about the sharpness of the eye of the outsider. At the door of Easter, we enquire about death and salvation for humans and glaciers, and on the grounds of hydrofeminism we cherish the newly...

In preparation for the Global Glacier Sound Meditation that I am offering in celebration of the 1st World Day of Glaciers in collaboration with Cumbres Blancas, I had an inspirational conversation with Marcela Fernández, the founder of this movement that is inspiring people around the world, one country at a time, to join forces to take action for glaciers and their ecosystems from multidisciplina...

We are in the age of magic -says writer Andri Magnason-, we are doing rain dances in the hope that our words and our music will spread around the planet and influence our behaviour, our laws, our creativity, our consumption… in a way that we will harm the glaciers less or even save them. Writer Andri Snaer Magnason has the power to stir your imagination to infinite corners of thought and thread th...

Welcome to the first collaborative podcast episode of The Glacier's Song :) Here you've got an unmissable inspiring chat with my friend and collaborator Yin Cheng-Kokott, explorer of the body, erotic power and ancestry from many angles. Don't miss on the living archive of our laughter when Yin and I first connected in Berlin. It will be contagious, and it may be what we need right now. According t...

In the context of the current tragedy of floods in Spain, I decided to make available for everyone this sound journey, with the intention to be useful for anyone who might need a moment of serenity, inner peace, grief, prayer, processing and transmuting the feelings of collective rage and sadness. Originally, this sound journey was recorded as part of the Mermaid Sound Session for the New Moon in...

Last weekend in Iceland, people walked in procession to Ok, the first Icelandic glacier to be lost due to climate change. A range of events took place to raise awareness of glaciers melting around the world. I couldn't be there although I would have loved to. I hiked Ok in 2021 as part of my project to listen, sing and record with glaciers, and it was one of the most transformational experienc...

Taking you on a journey to the glaciers! Are you ready? Come with me to the glaciers of Iceland, feel their landscapes and listen to their sounds through the lens of my experience recording and singing with them in 2021. In this episode I am taking you to Snafellsjökull and Solheimajökull, the first two glaciers I met, recorded and sang with. Discover how does a glacier sound like from the waves o...

This episode is to stir up your imagination and ask you, through a collective vocal performance with Snaefellsjökull Glacier in Iceland, if you can imagine glaciers, rivers and forests as representatives of nations: as Presidents. I am proudly part of a campaign happening right now in Iceland to nominate Snaefellsjoküll glacier for President. How would it feel that each country votes for a glacier...

Tens dret a la teua expressió única i lliure. Tens dret a la teua creativitat. Tens dret a la teua veu. Tens dret a anar més enllà. Tens dret a satisfer els desitjos del teu cor. Moltes vegades tot això no és fàcil deugt al condicionament social i educatie que hem rebut. Però quan algú creu radicalment en tu i sap què ets capaç d'aconseguir, tu també hi comences a creure, aquest algú t'imp...

Listen to this episode with headphones, close your eyes and relax :) There are no words in this episode, just intuitive, soothing singing recorded on Langjökull glacier (Iceland) in April 2023. My memory of performing intuitive singing in Langjökull glacier is one of articulating brushstrokes of sound in the midst of the most majestic and pure silence. Listening to the live recording taken through...

En aquest episodi en català parlo de la brúixola interna del desig o de l'instint, que ens guia amb autoritat interna a partir de l'energia sexual i de com integrar aquesta energia femenina en el nostre dia a dia, en una societat on impera la competitivitat, el fer, l'aconseguir i el guanyar.

It is from alchemising darkness that we reach the light. Let yourself be whispered along about a journey into self-love and confidence, about finding strength in vulnerability, about the power of pleasure and its role in healing the Earth and about the glorious feeling of love overflow that makes me feel I finally arrived home within my soul. Let yourself explore your own definition of love. I hop...

Bodies of fire and bodies of water share an endless dance that shapes the land. Volcanoes are under most glaciers in Iceland, and sometimes they open up the Earth surface with tongues of fire giving birth to new land, like the new volcanic eruption in Fagradalsfjall, Litli Hrútur, from which I am talking to you in this episode. In this episode of The glacier's song and my journey into explorin...

The connection between nature, sound and the erotic is something I am exploring both in my life and in my new music. In this episode, recorded next to a waterfall in East Iceland, I unveil my own definitions of the erotic as personal and collective power. You will also dive into the sensuality of the sounds of water through poetry and listening to the stream that was behind me while recording this...

In the first episode of The Glacier's Song, Néfur unveils the story of The Singer who Dreamed with a Glacier, how she -a singer that grew up in an isolated Delta in the Mediterranean Sea- came to meet and listen to the glaciers of Iceland to make music with them. What is the important message that the glaciers shared with her? The Singer who Dreamed with a Glacier story is a creative way in wh...
