Home Cut
Home cut is a juxtaposition of image and sound from various domestic activities. Image and sound are cut to serve the purpose of sampling to create different sound instruments. Based on seventeen samples, the images are arranged to create a pattern. By changing the arrangement of the pattern and including repetition, there is an attempt to reconstruct the rhythm of the series. It is through the variation and rearranging that the pattern eventually struggles to find its original pattern. In attempting to get back to the original pattern, the samples are arranged over and over again, only to arrive at an even more chaotic state. In consequence, the composition creates a domino effect, where one pattern after another is recreated based on the last pattern. As a result, the only way to ever get back to the original pattern is to literally play the sequence as a reverse.
