Gealdýr is a Nordic folk/Viking inspired project created by the Dutch Singer-Songwriter and producer Jonathan Barendsma. The name Gealdýr is a combination between the Gaelic word Geal (White) and the Old Norse word Dýr (Deer). Gealdýr's (White deer) music will combine similar kind of ancient folk music elements together to create a very unique and ambient sound based on vocals and ancient traditional instruments from Scandinavia and other Northern European countries. Gealdýr's music is often composed of ideas and stories based on the Viking period, inspired or consisting of Nordic mythology.
