"The rhythm of the impermanent". (2023)

Sound work and video poem.

Live performance.

​

This work is the creative result of an investigation into the sonic and performative possibilities of the northern lights. In this process, I connected with three guiding experiences, memory, death and the sense of ephemeral.

What came out of this original idea was translated into different outputs. First, the composition of three soundscapes and which are part of an album called "Að ferðast". In the composition, I used field recordings obtained through an ELF (extreme low frequencies) receiver, analogue audio processors and samples from films.

At the same time I worked on the development of the artwork for the album based on digitally intervened photographic records. Then I generated a video poem using one of the aforementioned soundscapes along with a poetic text and audiovisual recordings captured during my stay in Reykjavik.

 

For the opening of the exhibition I performed a live showcasing of my last sound work.

 

In March 2023, this work was presented and recorded in a live and streaming performance at Space Odissey, Experimental Music and Record Shop, Reykjavik.

These works were developed during my artist residency at SIM Residency (Reykjavik, Iceland) and was supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Award. Minority Ethnic Artists Mentoring & Residency Scheme.
