“Runes of the Returning Light” marks the first step into a new chapter of my Norse heritage—a sonic rite of passage where ancient symbols ignite modern circuitry. This opening track summons the feeling of standing at the threshold between worlds: the cold breath of the North on one side, and the quiet glow of a forgotten wisdom returning on the other.

Built on deep, shifting bass and shimmering pads that feel carved from frost, the track moves like an awakening ritual. Each melodic fragment is a rune in motion—an echo of ancestors, a spark of light resurfacing after long darkness. As the rhythm gathers strength, it becomes a pulse of renewal, a reminder that what was once lost can be called back through sound, intention, and memory.

This is the beginning of the album’s journey: a return to origin, a reclaiming of myth, and an invocation of the light that guides us home.
