Send us a textJohannes Geworkian Hellman is one of the foremost names in the Nordic folk music sphere today, impressing audiences the world over with his acrobatic and innovative approach to an often underestimated instrument - the Hurdy-Gurdy.Johannes sits down with Jameson for Nordic Sound 56 to reflect on his Hurdy-Gurdy journey and his own identity as a musician, the story of his acclaimed gurdy/accordion duo Symbio with Lars Emil Öjeberget, and his recent collaboration with highly regarded kantele player Maija Kauhanen. I think this is an especially important episode for the musicians who follow the channel, as Johannes offers some profound insight and perspective on what it means to be a musician in the 21st century. Johannes Website: https://www.johannesgeworkianhellman.se/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johannesgeworkianhellman/Symbio: https://symbiomusic.com/Maija Kauhanen & Johannes Geworkian Hellman: https://www.kauhanenhellman.com/Timestamps:0:00 Introduction2:07 Johannes’ Hurdy-Gurdy Journey19:20 The Hurdy-Gurdy in Swedish Tradition26:44 Symbio50:55 Migrating with Maija Kauhanen1:01:37 Advice for Aspiring Musicians1:10:03 Solo Project1:21:20 Some spiritual perspectives on musicianshipSupport the showThe Nordic Sound is supported by its patrons over on Patreon.com/nordicsound BarMonicaEmberGeorgeBetsCarrieGenLeighMikeCindyClaytonDrakeEricJamieJuliaMaryMichaelMichaelSeanSimonTonyYou too can support the project at patreon.com/nordicsound
