Heart Chamber Orchestra

Heart Chamber Orchestra by Régine Debatty: "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."

...The role of the musician expands, he or she becomes an actor who simultaneously composes and interprets. The score is only temporary and generated in the very moment of the heartbeats.
