The luohti is accompanied by electronic music by Turkka Inkilä and the jouhikko, a Karelian bowed lyre, played by Ilkka Heinonen.

The work both reveals and conceals the original drums within the noise of digitally emerging images. These images are combined with impressions of plant leaves, flower petals, earth and salt, created on film using printing, painting and phytogram techniques on film.
The work explores the indigenous people’s relationship with the land, their environment and their cultural heritage.
It also reflects on what has been preserved of Indigenous spiritual traditions, and how these traditions have been othered, lost or erased as a result of colonisation.
