Elven Voice - Elvish and Medieval Music

Elven Voice is a project that expresses art through music with modern messages and instruments with medieval timbres.

It uses an artificial language based on Esperanto, created for sound aesthetic purposes.

The songs from Elven Voice are also on another project, Allia Elvish, but in a more futuristic style.

In both the Allia Elvish and the Elven Voice, old instruments and 16th-century compositional techniques are used (Modal Counterpoint by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina).

Both designs make use of contrast. In the modern Allia Elvish for the participation of old instruments, and in the organic Elven Voice for the futuristic themes addressed in the lyrics.

To create the melodic phrases, computer random-generation was used (following the rules and tonal jumps of the 16th century). The choices and combinations of the aforementioned melodic phrases were made personally, selecting the ones that sounded best and were more similar to Pop, which people today are used to. Seeking, in this way, a greater sensorial comfort.

The messages present in the lyrics of the songs were taken from a futuristic themed book still under review, called Humaro Nova, with the author’s permission. They rely on axiology and make direct and indirect criticisms of current society, which, if followed, would lead the world to become a fairer place (or futuristic utopian, as reported in the aforementioned book).

The use of artificial language allowed the lyrics to be molded in a way that sounded pleasant, even though the messages were expressed in a direct and practically literal way; in a way that borders on childishness.

The pseudo-elven style was chosen because the elven symbology is related to perfection, delicacy, aesthetic beauty, magic, virtue; in short, all the positive adjectives modernly linked to the referred mystical being in contemporary fictional works.

To interpret the songs on the first EP and evoke a feeling of unity, singers from nine different nationalities were chosen (Argentina, Brazil, China, England, France, Greece, Italy, Russia and the USA) who have in common the technique necessary to perform the song tracks, and a timbre that would refer to the very spirit of the book that inspired the project.

The multi-nationality and union of the project’s members also refers to the idea of the creation of the Esperanto language itself, which lent its radicals to shape the language used in the project.

The Origin of the Elves and Their Influence on Medieval Elven Music

Elves are mystical beings whose origins trace back to ancient Germanic and Norse mythologies. These magical creatures appear in the oral traditions of Northern European peoples, where they were portrayed as spirits of nature, guardians of forests, and figures associated with wisdom and light. In Norse mythology, for example, the light elves (Ljósálfar) lived in Álfheimr, an enchanted land ruled by Freyr, the god of fertility.

This vision of elves as beings tied to the mysticism of nature and the power of light became a fundamental part of medieval legends and tales, influencing not only stories but also art forms, including music. Medieval elven music seeks to capture the beauty and serenity of these creatures, using authentic instruments from the Middle Ages to evoke the magical and mysterious atmosphere surrounding elves.

Over time, the legends of elves were reinterpreted by authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, who helped consolidate the image of elves as immortal, elegant beings deeply connected to nature. This representation inspired the creation of a style of elven music characterized by ethereal and mystical melodies, often featuring instruments like the lute, flutes, and harps, evoking the harmony between elves and the enchanted realms of nature.

Elven music, at its core, is an attempt to revive the sounds of past ages and recreate the atmosphere of ancient legends. The combination of medieval instruments and mythological themes gives rise to compositions that transport listeners to distant times when elves roamed forests and interacted with the human world.

In projects like Elven Voice, this connection between elves and music is preserved, using composition techniques that respect medieval tradition while incorporating a modern vision in lyrics and messages. Medieval elven music is not merely a historical recreation but also an artistic expression that connects the mythical past with the present, allowing today’s listeners to reconnect with the magic and enchantment of elves.

The choice of elven music for the Elven Voice project is directly tied to the attempt to capture the essence of elves: serenity, harmony with nature, and their mystical aura. This soundscape is crafted through traditional instruments that hark back to ancient legends and medieval myths, allowing the listener to feel transported to a magical and distant realm where music and elves coexist in perfect harmony.

Characteristics of Elves That Inspired Our Music

Elves, present in ancient mythologies and modern fantasy works, are often described as beings of great beauty, wisdom, and a profound connection to the natural world. These traits have directly shaped the aesthetics and sound of elven music, especially in the compositions created for the Elven Voice project. Here are the qualities of elves that have most inspired our music:

1. Harmony with Nature

Elves are traditionally seen as guardians of forests and natural elements, living in perfect harmony with the world around them. This deep connection to nature inspires us to create melodies that evoke the tranquility of untouched landscapes, such as enchanted forests and crystal-clear rivers. We use traditional instruments like flutes and lutes to reflect the softness and serenity associated with elves, crafting medieval elven music that echoes the natural sounds of a distant era.

2. Beauty and Elegance

In most representations, elves are described as beings of unparalleled beauty, exuding an aura of elegance and grace. These qualities are reflected in our choice of compositions, which prioritize refined harmonies and a delicate musical aesthetic. Elven music seeks to capture this ethereal beauty through intricate arrangements and light instrumentation, flowing like a dance between the ancient and the sublime.

3. Mysticism and Wisdom

Elves are often portrayed as wise beings, possessing vast knowledge of the world and powers beyond human understanding. This mystical and wise aspect of elves is a fundamental inspiration for our music. The medieval elven music created by Elven Voice is designed to transport listeners to a universe of mystery and magic, where ancestral knowledge and cosmic secrets are present in the melodies and harmonies, inviting contemplation and introspection.

4. Immortality and Timelessness

One of the most striking characteristics of elves is their immortality. They are beings who live beyond time, witnessing the passing of ages with accumulated wisdom. This concept of immortality is reflected in our compositions, which aim to convey a sense of timelessness where the past and present converge. The sound of elven music aspires to be eternal, echoing as if it were created centuries ago yet resonating equally with the modern world.

5. Magic and Enigma

Elves are also known for their mastery of magic, being mysterious and enigmatic beings capable of extraordinary feats. In our music, this quality translates into melodies that evoke a sense of hidden magic, as if every note contains an ancient secret. The compositions of medieval elven music create an atmosphere of enchantment, where the listener is transported to a world of fantasy and mystery, perfectly aligned with the elven imaginary. Through these qualities, the music of Elven Voice aims to capture the essence of elves, transporting listeners to a world of beauty, harmony, and mystery. Each composition is an attempt to translate these characteristics into sound, forging a deep connection between the listener and the elven universe.

What Makes a Song Considered Elven Music?

Elves, present in ancient mythologies and modern fantasy works, are often described as beings of great beauty, wisdom, and a profound connection to the natural world. These traits have shaped not only their depiction in stories but also the essence of elven music, which seeks to embody the elegance, mysticism, and harmony associated with these mythical beings.

1. Connection to Nature

Elven music often mirrors the serenity and beauty of nature. Instruments like flutes, harps, and lutes are commonly used to emulate the sounds of flowing rivers, rustling leaves, and birdsong. The melodies are typically soft and flowing, evoking the tranquility of enchanted forests and the untouched wilderness.

2. Ethereal Beauty

The aesthetic of elven music is refined and delicate, often described as ethereal or otherworldly. This quality is achieved through intricate arrangements and harmonies that seem to float effortlessly, capturing the timeless grace and beauty associated with elves.

3. Mystical Atmosphere

Elven music frequently incorporates elements that evoke mystery and magic. Unusual scales, modal harmonies, and layered vocals are used to create a sense of wonder, as if the music itself is imbued with ancient secrets and otherworldly wisdom.

4. Timelessness

Elves are often depicted as immortal beings, and their music reflects this sense of timelessness. Compositions often combine elements of medieval and ancient musical traditions with a modern sensibility, creating pieces that feel both old and new, transcending the boundaries of time.

5. Emotional Depth

Elven music tends to be deeply emotive, with melodies and harmonies that resonate with themes of longing, joy, sorrow, and peace. This emotional depth connects listeners to the mythical world of elves, where every note tells a story of beauty and mystery. Through these characteristics, elven music becomes a bridge between the mythical and the real, inviting listeners to step into a world of enchantment and inspiration. Projects like Elven Voice aim to embody these elements, creating music that captures the essence of elven culture and mythology, transporting the audience to a realm of fantasy and wonder.

What Types of Elven Music Exist?

Elven music is a genre that encompasses various approaches and styles, each reflecting different interpretations of elves and their magical universe. Whether inspired by ancient mythology, modern fantasy, or futuristic concepts, elven music has the power to transport the listener to mystical realms and fantastical landscapes. Here are some of the main types of elven music, each with its characteristics and examples of musical projects representing these styles.

1. Traditional Elven Music (or Medieval Elven)

Traditional elven music, also known as medieval elven music, is strongly inspired by the instruments and musical styles of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This type of music seeks to capture the timeless essence of elves through gentle melodies and delicate harmonies, using instruments like the lute, harp, hurdy-gurdy, and flute. It evokes serenity and a deep connection to nature, essential elements of elven culture. Example: The project Faun 🎧🍎 is one of the prominent names in music inspired by ancient cultures and myths. Their compositions use traditional acoustic instruments and are heavily influenced by European folk traditions, making them a reference when thinking of medieval elven music.

2. Fantastic Elven Music (or Tolkienian Elven)

Fantastic elven music, or Tolkienian elven music, is heavily influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien’s vision of elves, especially in works like *The Lord of the Rings*. This style of music is characterized by epic melodies, often with grand orchestral arrangements, reflecting elves as wise, immortal warriors. The fusion between traditional instruments and modern orchestras is a key element of this type of music. Example: The group Clamavi de Profundis 🎧🍎 creates music directly inspired by Tolkien’s works. Their choral harmonies and epic instrumentation are hallmarks of fantastic elven music, where the songs seem to echo directly from the realms of Middle-earth.

3. Ambient Elven Music (or New Age Elven)

Ambient elven music combines New Age elements with sounds that evoke the nature and mystery of elves. This style is more introspective and meditative, often using soft synthesizers mixed with natural sounds like streams, wind, or birds to create an immersive experience. Ambient elven music is ideal for those seeking a sense of tranquility and spiritual connection. Example: Enya🎧🍎, while not exclusively associated with elves, is one of the names most linked to New Age music with an elven touch. Her ethereal and mystical compositions are perfect for creating a magical and contemplative atmosphere, characteristic of ambient elven music.

4. Electronic Elven Music (or Futuristic Elven)

Electronic elven music combines the traditional with the modern, blending medieval acoustic instruments with synthesizers, electronic beats, and futuristic music elements. This style imagines elves in a high-tech context, retaining their mystical roots while adapting to an advanced world. This fusion creates a unique sound that is both anachronistic and innovative. Example: The project Allia Elvish🎧🍎 represents this style, with a blend of futuristic and medieval sounds. With synthesizers, distorted guitars, and acoustic instruments like the lute, Allia Elvish captures the essence of a world where elves inhabit technological and fantastical realities.

5. Mystical Choral Music (or Elven Choral)

Mystical choral music is characterized by the use of choral voices and ethereal harmonies that evoke the spirituality of elves. Often without instrumental accompaniment or with gentle support, this style reflects the supernatural beauty of elves, their immortal songs, and their wisdom. Mystical choral music is one of the most powerful elements of elven music, conveying a sense of transcendence and immortality. Example: The project The Tolkien Ensemble 🎧🍎 is famous for its musical interpretation of Tolkien’s poems and songs, bringing the spiritual and mystical side of elves to life through choral and instrumental compositions that resonate as if sung in the forests of Middle-earth.

6. Elven Folk Music

Elven folk music is inspired by traditional folklore, especially Celtic and Nordic. This style captures the musical traditions that might have been associated with elves in ancient human cultures. Acoustic instruments such as violins, bodhráns, and flutes are common in this style, as are lively rhythms and simple yet enchanting melodies. Example: Omnia 🎧🍎 is a band known for blending folk music with pagan and mythological themes. Their compositions often invoke the spirit of nature and mystical beings, making them an ideal example of elven folk music.

Conclusion

Elven music can take many forms, from traditional and acoustic to electronically futuristic, each capturing different aspects of the life, culture, and magic of elves. Whether through medieval elven music with authentic instruments or electronic beats and futuristic synthesizers, elves continue to be a powerful source of inspiration in musical creation. For those seeking to explore this mystical universe, projects like Faun, Clamavi de Profundis, Enya, Allia Elvish, The Tolkien Ensemble, and Omnia offer a wide variety of interpretations, all tied by the magical and eternal essence of elves.

Elves: Extraterrestrial or Extradimensional Origins?

There are theories within some spiritualist, esoteric, and mystical study circles that associate the myth of elves with possible interactions with alien races or beings from other dimensions. These ideas often combine elements of mythology, ufology, and spirituality to suggest that legends about elves could be ancestral memories of contact with such races. While these theories are not based on scientific evidence, they hold great appeal among those who explore the mysteries of the universe and the origins of human myths. Here are the two main types of alien races frequently associated with elves:

1. Tall and Slender Race: The “Nordics”

Description: In ufology, the “Nordics” are described as tall, slender aliens with graceful features. They often have fair skin, blonde or white hair, and blue or light-colored eyes. These characteristics resemble the tall and elegant elves depicted in J.R.R. Tolkien’s work and other legends about light elves. Connection to Elves:Wisdom and spirituality: The “Nordics” are often described as highly spiritual, peaceful, and technologically advanced, aligning with the idea of elves as wise and immortal beings. – Ethereal aura: They are said to possess an almost divine presence, emanating an energy of serenity and harmony, traits often attributed to the light elves (Ljósálfar) in Norse mythology. Speculated Origin: Some theories suggest that the “Nordics” hail from constellations like the Pleiades or Lyra, or even from higher dimensions. They are believed to have visited Earth in the past, influenced ancient cultures, and perhaps inspired legends of tall and graceful elves. Associated Attributes: – Height and slenderness. – Connection with nature. – Advanced wisdom and spirituality. – Telepathic communication.

2. Small and Mischievous Race: The “Short Grays” or “Goblin-Like Beings”

Description: Another alien race linked to elven myths consists of short beings, often described with mischievous or mysterious traits. While they are more commonly associated with goblins or gnomes, in some traditions, they are also compared to Christmas elves or Santa’s helpers. Connection to Elves:Small stature: These beings are frequently described as small and agile, echoing descriptions of smaller elves found in legends and folklore. – Playful or crafty demeanor: Like Christmas elves or gnomes, they are viewed as ingenious and playful. Speculated Origin: These beings might be linked to smaller alien races, such as certain types of Grays, but as variations of the classic Grays described in ufology. Some mystical theories connect these beings to inhabitants of parallel dimensions or spiritual realms, suggesting they could be lower-vibration entities capable of interacting with humans. Associated Attributes: – Small stature. – Ability to manipulate objects and tools with great skill. – Playful or mischievous energy.

Other Theories and Related Races

In addition to the Nordics and Short Grays, other alien races mentioned in spiritualist contexts may also have influenced elven myths.

3. Pleiadians:

Description: Angelic-looking humans from the Pleiades star system, often described as spiritual guides for humanity with a strong connection to nature and light. Connection: Their depiction aligns them with light elves and their mystical energy.

4. Arcturians:

Description: Highly advanced beings, both technologically and spiritually, often described as graceful and ethereal. Connection: Their portrayal as universal guardians may have inspired the idea of elves as protectors of nature.

Seres Intraterrestres:

Some spiritualist traditions believe that certain alien races live within the Earth and might be tied to legends of elves and other mythical beings.

Mystical Interpretation

For spiritualists, these associations may indicate that elven myths are ancestral or symbolic memories of interactions with these advanced races. Another possibility is that elves, like these alien races, represent spiritual archetypes, reflecting elevated states of consciousness connected to light, wisdom, and universal harmony.

Conclusion

While connections between elves and alien races are speculative theories, they offer a fascinating perspective on how myths might relate to humanity’s quest for understanding the unknown. Whether as mythical beings, extraterrestrials, or spiritual archetypes, elves continue to inspire human imagination, reflecting our eternal search for magic, wisdom, and connection to the universe.

Tolkien to the invented languages in modern fantasy universes, these languages evoke a unique enchantment in those who hear or try to learn them.

Elven Clothing: Elegance and Magic in Design

Elven clothing has always been associated with an aesthetic that combines beauty, functionality, and a deep connection to nature. Whether described in detailed literary works, imaginative designs in films and games, or artistic creations, elven garments capture the essence of their culture and way of life.

The Influence of Nature

The elves’ connection with nature is directly reflected in their clothing. Fabrics that evoke natural textures, such as silk reminiscent of the softness of leaves, or patterns mimicking branches and flowers, are common. Predominant colors range from greens, browns, and golds, inspired by forests, rivers, and the glow of the sun. Additionally, the use of materials like linen and cotton suggests harmony with the environment, while more elaborate fabrics like velvet and brocade convey a sense of royalty.

Elegant and Timeless Designs

Elven clothing is often described as flowing, with cuts that emphasize movement and grace. Long cloaks, detailed tunics, flowing dresses, and ornate armor are recurring elements. Embroidery and embellishments, such as pearls, gemstones, and natural motifs (leaves, stars, flowers), add a touch of sophistication and magic. This attention to detail reflects the elves’ craftsmanship and their appreciation for beauty in all forms.

Elven Armor: Combining Strength and Beauty

Even in battle, elven clothing preserves its unique aesthetic. The armor is light and functional, made from materials like mithril (in Tolkien’s mythology) or other metals that combine strength and lightness. Intricate ornaments and graceful curves ensure that even battle gear retains the elegance characteristic of elves.

Elven Clothing in Popular Culture

The impact of elven clothing goes beyond stories. Films like The Lord of the Rings and series like The Witcher brought elaborate designs to life, becoming a reference for fantasy-themed costumes. Many fashion designers and cosplayers draw inspiration from these elements to create modern pieces with an elven touch, whether for themed events or to add a hint of magic to everyday life.

Inspiration for the Real World

Elven clothing continues to inspire not only fantasy costumes but also contemporary fashion. Designs based on flowing dresses, embroidered details, and fluid cuts are featured in fashion shows and haute couture collections. For those who want to incorporate this style into their wardrobe, elements like natural tones, delicate accessories, and organic designs are a great starting point. Elven clothing, with its mix of functionality, beauty, and symbolism, represents more than just attire: it is a celebration of the bond between aesthetics and cultural identity. Whether in epic tales or real life, these garments continue to enchant and inspire, conveying the timeless essence of the elves.

The depiction of elves in works such as J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” popularized the elven jewelry style. Pieces like the “Light of Eärendil” and the “Ring of Barahir” exemplify this aesthetic, inspiring contemporary designers to create jewelry that captures the magic and elegance of elves.

Elven Jewelry in the Current Market

Today, a variety of elven-inspired jewelry is available, ranging from unique handcrafted pieces to collections by renowned designers. Platforms like Etsy offer a wide range of options for enthusiasts of this style.

Conclusion

Elven jewelry design combines natural elements, precious materials, and detailed craftsmanship to create pieces that reflect the beauty and magic of elves. This aesthetic continues to inspire and enchant, both in fictional universes and in the real world.

Evolutionary Sports (English)

For thousands of years
in savannas
and forests we have lived

Our activities
kept us alive
Evolve always

My grandparents
were champions

My parents broke records
I have been training since I was born
My son will be even better
These are evolutionary sports

The nets do not help
We should run
swim, pedal

Shooting, driving
And develop
This is how we will evolve

Generations evol-
ve by improving on them

My parents broke records
I have been training since I was born
My son will be even better
These are evolutionary sports

I can have fun
and evolve.

Useful today
In the future
In the past

My parents broke records
I have been training since I was born
My son will be even better
These are evolutionary sports

My parents broke records
I have been training since I was born
My son will be even better
These are evolutionary sports
