Nominated for Innovation Prize
We are very proud to announce that Iphigenia Publishing was nominated for the SKAPA innovation prize, instituted by Örebro Regional Council.
Songwriting Camps
It’s always good to meet other people. If you want to learn, reading a book or two is great, but if you get the chance to meet people that share your interests and passions the learning process gets a whole new dimension.
This is why we aim to pair our literature with activities where readers can meet and interact with other readers and with the authors of the stuff they’ve been reading. These activities are an important part of our business concept.
Iphigenia in Incubation Program
We’re a small but expanding Publisher. What can be better than be accepted to an incubation program? Advice from experienced professionals in the various fields of entrepreneurship is, of course, more than welcome! Our business model is found interesting, and we’re proud of that!
What’s a luohti?
There is so much beauty in Sami Culture and Music. Listen to the song Unna Nieiddas by Sara Marielle Gaup Beaska and the group Adjagas. Do you know about joiking? A joik is actually called luohti in Northern Sami (voulle in Southern Sami). Here’s a few lines from our interview with Sara Marielle Gaup Beaska:
”Every person has a luohti, and every animal, mountain and streem. Your luohti trails behind you, and someone who knows you well enough can catch it, and give it voice. The luohti in Unna Nieiddas, for instance, is a child-luohti – my own daughters actually. The luohti follows a child, and evolves as the child grows.”
Film Sound!
Immensely proud to be announcing the fourthcoming release of a book on film sound, by legendary Swedish sound designer Klas Dykhoff, professor of film sound at Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts. The Swedish title is ››Filmljud, Ljudbild eller Synvilla?‹‹. What will the English title be? Translation can be tricky! Any suggestions from our Swedish speaking friends?

The works of this sharp mind, Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University, PhD Lisa Feldman Barret, lays the foundation for our understanding of how music connects with emotion.
