Heart Chamber Orchestra - Pixelache from pure on Vimeo.
The Heart Chamber Orchestra - HCO - is an audiovisual performance. The orchestra consists of 12 classical musicians and the artist duo TERMINALBEACH.
Using their heartbeats, the musicians control a computer composition and visualization environment. The musical score is generated in real time by the heartbeats of the musicians. They read and play this score from a computer screen placed in front of them.
HCO forms a structure where music literally "comes from the heart".
HCO is not a composition in the traditional sense. It draws its inspiration from music, art and science. This interdisciplinary approach pushes and questions the boundaries of the contemporary practice within these disciplines.
The creative act does not create an object but implements a space of possibilities, a structure for processes to evolve. There is no clear distinction between author and interpreter, but the emergence of a reading/writing continuum with no territory for a single author.
