"Hamrer Hippyer" is a song from the band Heilung. Quite a challenge to cover it alone as this piece usually involved many musicians that orchestrate their singing and drumming in a way that I can't do. Though I could mimic it with loops, and started to work on this way. "Hamrer Hippyer" was the most "adaptable" of their song as a lone musician. I'm also not a singer, so all the clear singing from the original song is mostly changed in throatsinging in my attempt. So I'm happy to share this humble cover of a song that just resonnated in me endlessly, like many other song of this band actually. This song is usually played at the end of their rituals, and is a blessing. It involved rhythmic throatsinging inspired by Arctic tribe (such as Inuk/Inuit), several names of Wodan/Odin (the high god of germanic tribes) and also part of the called Merseburg charms, which are old germanic incantations preserved by the christians around the 9th century, in Old High German language. This spell can be found in several european cultures and similarities can be found in Atharvaveda hymns from Ancient India, hinting an ancient Indo-European roots. This cover purpose aim to pay tribute to a band that influence my music (alongside with Tool band) since several years. I wanted to thank them by humbly chanting them.

"Hamrerhippyer" - Original music and lyrics are composed by Heilung (Kai Uwe Faust, Christopher Juul and Maria Franz) Video: @hood.mov #throatsinging #cover #livelooping #heilung #amplifiedhistory #merseburgcharms #germaniclanguage

Think #German is all tongue-twisters and super-long words? 🌀 Nein! With 60% of its vocabulary shared with English and a slower speaking pace, German is surprisingly easy for English speakers to pick up. 😃 Even words like Arbeitslosenversicherung aren’t so scary when you break them down—they’re just small, simple parts strung together. 🧩 Conquer those long words, one piece at a time! 😉 #germantiktok #tiktokgerman #germanlanguage #deutsch #deutschlernen #learngerman #germanlearner #languagelearning #languagelearner #polyglot
