Felix Lummer

Felix Lummer, a PhD in Old Nordic religion and a lecturer at the University of Iceland, delves into the fascinating concept of the Belliphonic, or Sounds of War. He discusses how sounds, from battle cries to trumpet signals, shape warfare and group identity. The conversation touches on the challenges of capturing auditory experiences in written forms and explores the emotional impact of battlefield sounds. Felix also examines reenactments to understand historical soundscapes and reveals how sound serves as a strategic tool in combat psychology.
