Petter Udland Johansen is a Norwegian vocalist and musician known for his deep dive into traditional Nordic and European folk traditions, often blending medieval sounds with contemporary creativity. A key figure in the ensemble Hirundo Maris, which he co-founded with harpist Arianna Savall, Johansen’s work bridges Scandinavian and Mediterranean musical heritage, emphasizing storytelling through haunting ballads and ancient texts. His recent projects, like *Draumkvedet*—a reimagining of a medieval Norwegian visionary poem—and collaborations on albums such as *El cant de la Sibil.la & Draumkvedet* showcase his knack for reviving historical narratives with fresh, atmospheric arrangements. From ethereal Christmas carols (*Silent Night*) to cross-cultural explorations (*Chants du Sud et du Nord*), Johansen’s artistry feels both timeless and curiously inventive, appealing to fans of folk, early music, and genre-blurring soundscapes.
