Somby in the location where the recordings of Yoiking with the Winged Ones took place

Yoiking with the Winged Ones is a polyphonic sound project by Ánde Somby.[1] In the recording, Somby performs yoiking, the ancient chanting practise of the Sámi People of northern Europe,[2][3] in concert with the sounds of nature.[4] The album edition of the project was released by Ash International as a vinyl record in January 2016.[5] Yoiking with the Winged Ones is also presented as an art installation. Røst Air and Ny Musikk in collaboration with Tromsø Kunstforening had a show from 22nd of May to 4th of June 2017.[6]

The project is performed and produced by Ánde Somby, an artist deeply rooted in the yoik tradition. In this project, Somby contributes to the tradition of yoik with pretty epressive style of yoiking.[7]

The title references stories about the mythology of faeries and elves, and the recording was inspired by the Arctic climate.

Reception

Yoiking with the Winged Ones has been reviewed in Somby's native language Sámi[8] as well as in Danish[9] and Norwegian.[10] The album is reviewed also in Italian,[11] German,[12][13] French,[14][15] Dutch,[16] Japanese,[17] and English.[18][19][20]

According to PassiveAggressive, he is almost on the border of the human voice.[clarification needed][21] Somby's yoiking has been described as having the energy that punk rock had before it was tamed in the music studios,[22] with Klassekampen comparing Somby's work to that of the English punk band Cockney Rejects.[23]
