Rhythm

Humans fall apart from time to time. Trying to glue back their thoughts into meaningful constructs. It sometimes works. At other times they will place themselves in music and that how find a way. My piano gave me this percussive phrase when I was scattered. I put all my energy into coordination, leaning into the timing and found myself back in a flow, in a groove. The rhythm saved me and brought back coherence. The song starts with a heartbeat, the sound of life that we not only hear but feel the vibration of, at the very beginning of our existence. Working as a music therapist at the neonatal intensive care unit I see how the children’s heartbeat lower and stabilize as they return to their parents’ chest, being in touch again with the beating heart. By the collaboration with brilliant Peter Bohlin this song was made possible to transform from a piano piece into this soundscape of rhythm and voices. Thank you Peter!
