# Rhythmic Coronary Albums Mitral Transmission is an Album That Uses the Artist's Heartbeat for Soun By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-03-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitral-transmission References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/03/musician-heartbeat-album-beats.html) & [infinitelimbs](http://infinitelimbs.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fox-one) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-maestro) that will allow users to do the same thing Fox did, creating their own music using the beat of their hearts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Biometric Soundscapes:** Exploring the use of biometric data such as heartbeats to create unique musical experiences, offering new dimensions of personalization and self-expression in the music industry. - **Interactive Music Experiences:** Creating interactive exhibits and installations that allow users to actively participate and shape the music they experience, blurring the boundaries between artist and audience. - **Body as Instrument:** Harnessing the potential of body-generated soundscapes, opening up innovative possibilities for music composition and performance by incorporating physiological signals into the creative process. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music Technology:** Developing new tools and software that can capture and interpret biometric data to generate unique musical experiences, revolutionizing the music production and consumption landscape. - **Experiential Art:** Collaborating with artists and musicians to create immersive installations and exhibits that merge technology and human physiology, offering audiences a truly interactive and personal artistic encounter. - **Healthtech:** Exploring the potential applications of biometric monitoring and data analysis in the field of healthcare and wellness, leveraging physiological signals for therapeutic purposes and patient engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heartbeat Rhythmic Smart Lockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch.md) - [CHD-Awareness Music Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chd4.md) - [Heartbeat-Mimicking Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch-locket.md) - [Simulated Heartbeat Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart.md) - [Mindful Meditative Soundscape Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-heirloom.md) - [Virtual Heart Rate Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-listener.md) - [Corn-Based Music Albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-remastered.md) - [Smart Heart-Shaped Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart-necklace.md) - [Auditory Artwork Albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-of-a-masterpiece.md)
