C H D - 4
CHD–4 is an arrhythmic drum machine and a collaboration between Love Hultén and Teenage Engineering, for Hjärtebarnsfonden. The device is based on echocardiograms from four children with congenital heart disease, printed from real hospital check-ups. Each ECG has been decoded into patterns based on its individual shape, pace, and BPM and then converted into a four-track rotary sequencer. The sequences – or 'heartbeats' – can be played separately or together, and each heartbeat can be adjusted offset in relation to the other(s) for further exploration.
CHD–4 was created to raise awareness about Congenital Heart Disease, which is the world's most common birth defect among children.
