Mitral Transmission is an interesting project. Artists often say that their music is near and dear to their heart, but this album may be the closest to one's heart -- literally. Greg Fox is using his heartbeat to make up the background music for his new album.
An album is a very personal experience, but many albums could always stand to be a bit more personal. Mitral Transmission sees Fox attaching himself to a computer with custom software that turned his heartbeat into a usable beat.
In addition to his album, the songs will be transformed into an exhibit that will allow users to do the same thing Fox did, creating their own music using the beat of their hearts.
