An ongoing pursuit in my work is to attempt to engage haptically with things that are considered virtual. This piece is essentially a reconstruction of Hulks samples, using scissors sounds to cut into his digital audio.
The original samples are arranged tightly together by basically starting them all at the same point and from this a loop is created and repeated throughout.
Scissors samples are layered over this and a crude edit made at the point of each closing of the blades.
