Gydja (an old Norse dame for priestess) is the solo project of a
sound artist (Abby Helasdottir) living in New Zealand. Helchemy
which came out in 2008 on Afe Records (an Italian label run Andrea
Marutti) is his eight album. My first Gydja listening experience.
There`s two long tracks for a total running time of 50.51 minutes. Here`s a
brief rundown
1 – The spirit of the earth with
venom intoxicate (25.07 minutes) = ambient darkwave / noise + minimal
electronics + drone elements + found sounds + minimal piano = feels like
sitting naked on a mountaintop in Siberia while the wind proceeds to slowly
freeze your soul relentlessly.
2 – The black sea, the black lune,
the black soll (25.34 minutes) = minimal ambience + rhythmic noise
elements + some sonic experimentations + death ambience + more lo-fi rhythmic
noise = a subtle trip through the land of inner schizophrenia, impressive.
