The Heart Chamber Orchestra (…) 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”.
