An experimental sampling project made entirely from recordings of human hair being scratched, snapped and burnt.

Follicles

This work is primarily composed using audio samples of rain accompanied by synthesized bells and other manipulated audio. The rain recordings are slowed down significantly (the audio equivalent of using a microscope) to reveal their complex rhythmic nature which provides the foundation for the piece. The form of this composition is meant to embody stages of the water cycle: raindrops fall from the clouds, hit the earth, are consumed by life, join larger bodies of water and eventually evaporate returning to the clouds and completing the cycle.
