The audio topography of the oceans and the depth of glacier cravasses is brought to the surface. She is occupied with finding sound from unseen sources of sound, like blind field recording. Her most recent sound works include "Submerge" (2008), for Fargfäbriken Norr in Sweden, based on hydrophone recordings in the local lake, "freq_out 7" curated by CM von Hausswollf at the Happy New Ears festival in Belgium (2008), "Rainbow Audio Transformation" (2008) at Extra City in Antwerp, Belgium and the 6 channel sound installation "+4°C - from Folgefonna to the North Sea" (2007) at Sleppet during the centenary of Edvard Greig, "Greig07" in Norway. Future projects includes an album released through Touch based on hydrophone recordings from the Icefjord Kangia by Ilulissat in Greenland, "Voices from the Deep" in collaboration with Chris Watson.

ALOG
Since forming in 1997 Alog have been among Norway’s leading performers of experimental electronic music. They are mainstays at Rune Grammofon and have been with the label since their debut album ”Red Shift Swing” was released in 1999. Already a mature and original collection, their sound has since been developed through their second album, ”Duck-Rabbit” (2001), and almost perfected with their previous album ”Miniatures”, which also won them a Norwegian Grammy for best electronica release in 2005.
