– Personal questions –<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> FAUN has so many wonderful songs – if you had to choose one – which would be your favorite?<\/strong>
Oliver Satyr:<\/strong> A difficult question, because you somehow love each of the little rascals. Furthermore, one would have to differentiate between concert and CD. Live there are certain songs I simply must have played at a concert, otherwise it doesn’t feel complete, for example “Alba”. My favourites on FAUN CDs are probably \u201eMacBeth” and “Hagazussa”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong> For quite some song and album you\u2019re diving into old traditions, foreign countries and forgotten languages. Where does this journey usually begin and where would one find the extensive background knowledge?<\/strong>
Oliver Satyr:<\/strong> To me it is important that the theme of an album has been initiated through encounters and personal experiences. To work out songs only in libraries would be too dry and too unemotional. But if you have a personal approach to a topic, then I love to read deeply into a topic with numerous books. But not only books are important, but also experts. For example, in the case of the CD “Midgard”, we have worked a lot with people who are experts in viking folklore and mythology.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How many instruments do you play and which one is your very favorite?<\/strong>
Oliver Satyr:<\/strong> The answer would have to be constantly updated, because I very often buy and resell instruments. At the moment I have about 20 instruments at home, which I play actively. But I have specialized in strings and stringed instruments which are very similar to each other. Therefore the number sounds more impressive than it is, because many instruments are very similar to be played. At the moment I play most often on an early form of the Swedish “nyckelharpa”, a “contrabasharpa” and on an “Irish bouzouki”. In general I am very fond of Swedish folk music and Swedish folk instruments. What is also important for me is an open tuning or drone, so that the sound is as old and archaic as possible.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. <\/strong><\/em>If you had a magic mirror – what would you want to see?<\/strong>
Oliver Satyr:<\/strong> Not the future. I am an optimist and find it important to follow your dreams, even if some of them may not lead anywhere.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. <\/strong><\/em>What aroused your curiosity about the Middle Ages and inspired you to incorporate this into music?<\/strong>
Oliver Satyr:<\/strong> It probably started with my enthusiasm for fantasy literature and the local forests. When I was a teenager my music teacher lent me two CDs of early music which I listened to a lot. I had already played the guitar and instead of going to clubs I preferred to spend my evenings in the forest by the fire and singing ballads of mermen and troll women. While still at school I joined a medieval juggler troupe, which performed juggling, theatre and fire shows at about 15 medieval markets per year. From that moment on, I was lost.
