Description
I’ve been tempted to write a drum part with the heart beat as the foundation for a long time. I had the idea to tell the story of a newborn with congenital heart disease through the stages of pre-operative life, cardiac surgery, and post-op ICU care. I chose Truncus Arteriosus as the specific lesion because of the rapid neonatal course and the rich sonic landscape it provides. To “spice” things up a bit, I incorporated all sorts of physical exam findings and arrhythmias into the piece (and took a few percussive liberties to make it easier on the ears).
