Signs of Life

Challenge: FOUND SOUNDS
Liner Notes
#Foundsounds #challenge #instrumental The sounds in an intensive care unit can be quite chaotic, though also rhythmic. I recorded the EKG beeps and various ventilator alarms and background chatter some time ago, and this challenge was the impetus I needed to assemble them and add some background music. If anyone is inspired to add lyrics, let me know; collaborations always welcome! Enjoy.

I love the idea that signals of life, such as heartbeats and breaths, are musical. It's like we've all got rhythm and the beat. Your voice added another sound of human life. Well done!

Love this. And yes I'm inspired. Have penned some basic lyrics and sung them to your recording. I can email you a link for you to have a listen if you like.

Interesting piece! The music is well matched to the sounds, and something about the voice gives it almost a spacey vibe.

I recently worked on an operating room musical: “Between life and death” there is a heartbeat. I am an OR nurse so can totally relate to what you put together here: very engaging. I like it as an instrumental actually.
