In the middle of the bright summernight I went out to call for the cows. I thought that maybe, something deep inside them, remember the sounds from the ancient times when people called for them over far distances. They came running, together with a million mosquitos

But what a magical night.

During the summer the young cows (heifers) comes to my village to spend some months eating fresh grass from the fields by the lake. As some of you know, I actually bought one of these cows last year. From the first time I saw her I just fell in love with her fluffy ears and kind eyes, and every time I did some kulning she was the first one to come. Maybe you remember that from one of my earlier kulning videos : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc7F_... She spent the winter on the farm, and now she is back here again to enjoy another summer outside. Almost every evening I go down to the field and call for her. I named her Stjärna, which means star in Swedish. But of course, all the other ladies comes aswell, even though they are not yet sure what to think of me haha. But we have a whole summer to get to know each other. So this video shows some very natural kulning with both short melodies and calling (lockrop) which is how it could have sound like on the farms for hundreds of years ago. I hope you like it! Lots of love to you all!

Filmen ``Den förlorade melodin´´ handlar om Stockholm och dess svåra trafikproblem. En slags propaganda för att använda allmänna trafikmedel. Filmen hade svensk premiär den 30 september 1957. Speaker är Thorsten Lilliecrona(farbror Melker i Saltrkråkan). Svensk Kollektivtrafik äger rättigheterna till klippet.

We were visiting my mother in laws little cabin by the sea. It's located in Gästrikland, not so far from Söderhamn. My friend Pelle, who is a photographer, recently bought a new camera and wanted to compare the sound quality from his phone and camera. So he asked me if I could "kula" over the water so he could record it. This way of singing is called kulning, it's an old Nordic tradition. It was used by women to call in the cattle and to communicate over big distances in the forest and mountains. Cows and cats use to react by being curious when I call but I have never seen a swan react before. Kulning är ett sångsätt man använde förr i världen för att locka på kor. Men jag kunde aldrig i min vildaste fantasi föreställa mig att en svan och hennes unge skulle komma när jag ropade!

Took a trip to the ancient ridgeway at Vallbyåsen, Uppland, Sweden, on which is an Iron age grave field. Nearby there is the Broborg, a vitrified hill-fort built in the migration era. The site was in use since neolithic times, as the stone cup marks nearby show. The rocks of the fort were cemented together by glass, through a very clever process of applying extreme heat to the rocks...or maybe that was just a side effect from the legend of Grimsa, a Viking queen who was burned alive in the fort. We can't know for certain but it is a spooky and evocative place in any case.
