My best friend recently told me that he and his wife are having a baby. He sent me an audio file of the babies heart beat after their last visit to the doctor. I was filled with wonder listening to what sounded like a train under water or the panting of a dog and realizing this was human struggling to be born. In the beating of the heart, I began hearing tones and a definite phrase - so as a musician I started to put instruments to what I was hearing. I know it sounds "over the top" but I felt like there was a composition that existed in the heart beat; I was just hearing it and putting instruments to what heard. I wonder if this child will hear this one day and feel a connection.
