When a child is born with congenital heart disease the rhythm of life is disrupted. Despite being the most common birth defect in the world, general awareness of CHD is low. This drum machine was created in a collaboration between audiovisual designer Love Hultén and teenage engineering to highlight the issue. The device, functioning as a modular synthesizer, produces rhythms made using the electrocardiograms of four children with different heart defects. 

While at Plan8 my colleague Andreas and I produced the software version of this incredible drum machine so it could be experienced by anyone and to help raise awareness through a prolonged engagement with the campaign site.
