I never knew the musical qualities of a hair dryer until I saw Mateusz Zdziebko's Sampled Room. Sampled Room is a [music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lab) made using [found objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utooto). Everything from a glass of water to a roll of tape is used to this short, but catchy song.

Who would've thought that all you needed to make a hit song was a bunch of [noisy items and a microphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-heirloom)? I guarantee you'll never look at your noisy doorstop the same way again after seeing Sampled Room. I've already begun work on my spoon symphony.
