“The rhythm of the impermanent” is the creative result of an investigation into the sonic and performative possibilities of the northern lights. In this process three guiding experiences were connected - the meaning of death, love and the passage of time. The outcome of this idea was translated into five different outputs.

A composition of three soundscapes was created (featuring vocals by an artist Liisi Kouhkna) using field recordings and that's part of an album called "Viajar - Að ferðast". This also included digitally intervened photographic records, a video poem using one of the aforementioned soundscapes along with a poetic text and various audiovisual recordings.
An installation-homage for the artist and shaman Cheto Castellano entitled the Sound of the Impermanent. The content of the piece was a correspondence between the spectrographic visualisation of the sound of the Northern Lights, their visible manifestation in the atmosphere as part of a constant flow. A live performance took place using the field recordings of the aurora borealis phenomena with the manipulation of analogue electroacoustic hardware.
