Heart Throb

Sound, performance, text, drawings & musical score

February 2025 - ongoing​​

​

Heart Throb is an ongoing sound and performance-based project initiated during a residency at Hangar in Lisbon. I am composing a piece of music using my ECG results and data collected during cardiac health investigations. I am using algorithmic, musical and improvised approaches to compose this piece, allowing chance and unpredictability to shape the final composition. The project explores the intersection of data and sound, the rhythms of the artist's body are transformed into music.

The composition will be created with the intention of performance, recording and collaboration with other musicians. 

The work will consider the symbolism of the heart and how this is applied to the creation of artwork and music. The themes of health and labour are central to this project, questioning the physical and emotional toll of creative work. How much of oneself is the artist expected to give to the creation process?
