heart signals share key characteristics: both have an innate periodicity and time-varying structure, making heart signals well-suited for mapping to musical sounds. In this work, heartbeat measurements from a heart transplant patient and the medical team in a COVID-19 unit are portrayed through sonic and visual representations. The piece explores concepts such as synchronization and entrainment, the process by which independent rhythmic systems interact, sonically highlighting how a medical team comes together during treatment. By mapping the relationship between the spectral components of the heart signals of the patient versus the team to harmonic tension in music, an ensemble of six voices moving in and out of sync is created, drawing parallels to how singers in a choir synchronize their heartbeats when performing together. Sounds are mapped so that greater coherence (degree of correlation) between heart signals in the group results in louder and more consonant sounds. In the visualization, each person is represented by a colored heart on a dedicated row, with the patient at the top. Due to their medical condition, the patient&#8217;s heartbeat is the fastest. With each heartbeat, hearts shift to the right, their sounds following along through panning, and their color reflecting how closely each person&#8217;s heart signal aligns with the patient&#8217;s. ~ Emma Frid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Other performances included electroacoustic music (<em>Toggle Dance<\/em> and <em>Pulse Dance<\/em>) by <a href=\"https:\/\/robgodman.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rob Godman<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/kateromano.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kate Romano<\/a>, actors recounting experiences of <em>Coming Out of Coma<\/em> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.secretheart.org\/seb-harcombe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seb Harcombe<\/a>, virtuosic violin impressions of emergency room sounds (<em>I See You, I Hear You<\/em>) by Mark (Hun Sik) Lee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Programme Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-pdf-viewer\" src=\"https:\/\/cosmos.isd.kcl.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MuseMedicine-Concert-Flyer-170326.pdf\" height=\"600\" width=\"600\" title=\"MuseMedicine Concert Flyer 170326\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2158\" height=\"1334\" src=\"https:\/\/cosmos.isd.kcl.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/thomasdwright.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7627 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cosmos.isd.kcl.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/thomasdwright.jpg 2158w, https:\/\/cosmos.isd.kcl.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/thomasdwright-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cosmos.isd.kcl.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/thomasdwright-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cosmos.isd.kcl.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/thomasdwright-1536x950.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cosmos.isd.kcl.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/thomasdwright-2048x1266.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2158px) 100vw, 2158px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The performances were accompanied by an exhibition of paintings of surgery images by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasdwright.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thomas D Wright<\/a> in the Henry VIII Room.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.evbuc.com%2Fhttps%253A%252F%252Fcdn.evbuc.com%252Fimages%252F1173261692%252F1409793675033%252F1%252Foriginal.20251219-114129%3Fw%3D940%26auto%3Dformat%252Ccompress%26q%3D75%26sharp%3D10%26rect%3D0%252C0%252C2160%252C1080%26s%3D4312130317b7c6242b544c769bc0bfa4&amp;w=940&amp;q=75\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Muse Meets Medicine was organised by cardiothoracic anaesthesiologist Dr <strong>Giampaolo Martinelli <\/strong>(Barts Hospital), Professor in Medical Education <strong>Louise Younie<\/strong> (Queen Mary University of London), Dr <strong>Giskin Day<\/strong> (Imperial College London), Professor <strong>Christine Bentley<\/strong> (Missouri Southern State University), and <strong>Megan Tjasink<\/strong> (Barts Hospital &amp;
