On the Circulation of Blood – Extended Score and Album
Sam Belinfante, ed.
Includes access to downloads, documentary material and sound files. Unlimited electronic copies for rehearsals and performances.
On the Circulation of Blood was a slowly moving artwork that progressed in a sporadic and circumlocutory fashion through Folkestone during the five months of the Creative Folkestone Triennial 2021. Conceived and curated by artist Sam Belinfante, the work drew on Folkestone’s history as a fishing community, the piece involved moving and dragging large-scale nets across the town, and hanging them on structures erected at two important sites in Folkstone’s collective past and present: its windswept seaside Amphitheatre, and the historical ‘Drying Grounds’ outside St Peter’s School. The moving and draping of these nets culminated in a set of performances that brought together community groups with artists and musicians.
This anthology brings together the work of six composers who created duets for voice and/or percussion for On The Circulation of Blood. It includes an introduction by Sam Belinfante, album liner notes by artist, composer and performer Neil Luck, as well as documentary photography of the performances.

’Listening to the performances on this album, one is drawn microscopically into the smallest details. Sounds are close-miced, acoustic, and full frequency. The diaphragms of our speaker cones and ear-drums are invited into the details of diaphragms of hand drums, torsos, and microphones in a way that feels anatomical and intimately visceral …’ (Neil Luck).
