Heart Chamber Orchestra

This is another great project with the human body as main element. The music of the Heart Chamber Orchestra literally comes “from the heart”. The heartbeats of the musicians control the composition as well as the visuals accompanying the music. The orchestra consists of 12 classical musicians and the artist duo Terminalbeach.

The heartbeats of the musicians of the Heart Chamber Orchestra are picked up by electrocardiogram sensors, and fed into a computer. The information is used to create a composition which score is sent back to the musicians to be played from the laptop screens in front of them. At the same time the heartbeats influence the visuals on the screen. It is a strange, somewhat intimate feeling to be able to look at, and listen to the musicians heartbeats while they are playing their instruments.

Hugo, if you keep finding such great stuff, my blog runs the risk of becoming a "neat things I heard on Everyday Listening" site! This is fantastic.
