Musicians are always saying that their compositions ‘come from the heart’, but in the case of the Heart Chamber Orchestra (HCO), this is literally true. The orchestra starts out with no musical score. The musicians wear ECG sensors and a computer monitors the state of the 12 hearts in real time. Software analyses the data and generates (in real time) a musical score which changes depending on their heart rates. This musical score is displayed on a screen in front of each of the musicians for them to play. While the musicians are playing, their heartbeats influence and change the composition and vice versa, creating a virtuous circle. Via

Vincent has been exploring his everyday life with a camera in hand, in a very simple, lo-fi way. A day to day adventure involving at first close friends, then lots of diverse musicians for the “Take Away Shows” project. More than 200 films were born from those encounters. Vincent sees himself just as a passeur – being a link, a connection, a bridge between people, sounds, cultures maybe. He hopes those travels and little adventures will inspire us to explore our world in our own way, and to find our own balance between technology and nature.
