Hayden Thorpe - "He"

What is it be hypnotised by nature? This music video uses high-frequency frames captured from a particular landscape to create a mesmerizing visual archive. The song and album is set in The National Trust site Orford Ness, a place transformed from a military testing ground, where high-speed photography was pioneered, into a renowned nature reserve. The speed of the flickering creates calming alpha waves in the brain. Capturing the rare fauna and flora of the site I included everything from microscopic photography of moth tongues, pollen and red blood cells to photos of kelp forests and rare birds.
