Despite the turmoil and protests around the globe, there are places on this planet where peace and tranquility still reign, shared by a Swedish photographer and artist, Jonna Jinton. Jonna left her hometown Gothenburg in search of nature and silence in 2010. In these past nine years, she found it in her roots, in Grundtjarn, a little village with 10 inhabitants in the North of Sweden, where her grandparents used to live. Jonna left the city life and moved 1000 km to the north and started a new life closer to nature. Allow me to share Jonna’s treasure of this magical place, in videos below:
- The singing technique called “kulning” is an ancient Swedish herdingcall, that was used by women long time ago to call home the cattle (the cows and the goats) back home to the farm in the evenings. It was also used as a form of communication, since the high pitch sounds can be heard through very far distances, in the video “Kulning-Ancient herdingcall – A farewell song to the cows“, below:
-
- A lullaby for the winter: A song to express my love and gratefulness for the winter that gave me all this magical moments during these 6 months. But also, a song to let it go. To let go of the cold and the dark, and welcome a new time of light and warmth. This song is for the winter, and for all of you out there ♥ Let the ancient tones go right through your soul and carry away all the heaviness in your heart. All the worry. All the things that hold you back. Let it melt down, back to the earth, just like the snow in the spring. Let it become water to nurture your new beginning, in the video “KULNING, ANCIENT HERDING CALLS, WINTER”S LULLABY“, below:

- This is a song I created with inspiration from the call “Into the unknown” in Frozen 2 , with ancient herding-call “kulning” and the old viking instrument “Bukkehorn” which Jonna Jintoon now played for the very first time in a song, in the video “THE FROZEN CALL – Ancient Nordic Chant“, below:
-
- In Jonna’s words: “For as long as I have lived here I have been so deeply fascinated by these sounds. If you have been following me for some time you might have heard me talk about this before. The sound of the ice is among the most beautiful and magical sounds I know, and I also believe that the sound can have a very healing effect on humans. The singing ice can remind us of the sounds that the whales use to communicate with each other . And just like the ice, most of the sounds are such low frequency that you can not even hear it. Only barely feel it. It also reminds many people of the sounds that can be heard from inside womb. Maybe that’s why it has such a calming effect on many people?”, in the video “A MAGICAL SOUND MADE BY THE EARTH – SINGING ICE“
-
- In Jonna’s words, “Here is a little song that came to me during the night of summer solstice. A little kulning (ancient swedish herdingcall) together with my very first try on the beautiful ancient instrument Nyckelharpa, that i just got”, in the video, “SONG OF SUMMER SULSTICE, Lulning & Nyckelharpa“, below:
-
- In Jonna’s words, “So this video is about this last week, in the beginning of winter, with all the things going on right now. I show you how far we’ve come with the renovations in the silver smithy, and I show you some ice prints and new ice jewelry that we’ve been working on lately”, in the video “THE CONTRASTS IN LIFE – Vlog 34“, below”
-
- In the very darkest time of the year, we honor the light. December 13 is a very special day here in Sweden when we celebrate the Lucia tradition. And for many years now, I have made it my own tradition to go out in the night to light up hundreds of candles with the intention to bring prayers of light and love our world. It’s always a very special and magical feeling, even if this night turned into a snow storm, in the video “Light in the darkness, Swedish Lucia Tradition“, below:
-
- It took me so many days to record that last scene for this vlog. But I needed to open my heart and tell you all about why I feel so depressed right now. To let you know about the situation we are in, and that we might need to lose what we love so much, in the video “SORROW AND A HEAVY HEART, VLOG 14“, below:
- Every winter as the ice begins to grow during the cold nights, it creates these otherworldly and beautiful sounds. In this video you can hear the sounds from this year, that was recorded in november 2019, with footage from the same ice. The sounds are made from all these beautiful cracks that you can see on the surface of the ice. Jonna has always thought that these sounds are so calming and relaxing to listen to. It can sometimes sound very similar to the songs of the whales in the ocean. And she also thinks it can remind us of how it sounded like before we entered this world. The sounds inside the womb of our mothers, in the video “SINGING ICE – 2 HOURS RAW ICE SOUNDS, ASMR/meditation/relaxation/sleep“, below:
