Einar Selvik

Data updated on 2025-07-29 18:00:21 UTC

Einar Selvik is a Norwegian composer, main musician and founder of the Norwegian musical constellation Wardruna, a project dedicated to create musical renditions of different Norse cultural and esoteric traditions. By using the oldest Nordic instruments, poetry and poetic metres in a contemporary soundscape, Einar has managed to merge the scholarly with the pop-cultural and given a new voice to old thoughts, tools and techniques, reaching an audience world-wide and beyond limitations of musical genres. Einar has also worked closely with Trevor Morris on the soundtrack for History Channels´s TV-series VIKINGS and is currently working on composing music for the video game Assassins Creed - Valhalla.
