>From We Make Money Not Art: Heart Chamber Orchestra - Music Performance in Sao Paulo's FILE festival
In this performance by Erich Berger and PURE from TERMINALBEACH, 12 classical musicians use their heartbeats to control in real time a computer composition and visualization environment. The musicians wearing ECG (electrocardiogram) sensors enter one by one on stage. As they sit down in front of a computer screen which will become their partition throughout the performance, their heartbeat appears and beeps on the giant screen behind them. A computer software analyzes the 12 hearts in real time and various algorithms turn the data into a 'living' musical score. While the musicians are playing, their heartbeats influence and change the composition and vice versa. Musicians and electronic composition are linked via the hearts in a circular, feedback structure.
