Soundscapes in Motherhood

Soundscapes in Motherhood is a contemporary sound work and musical composition. The score for the musical composition Soundscapes in Motherhood was written and based on an EKG graph that charted the contractions and fetal and maternal heartbeats of the artist during childbirth. The live feedback from medical technologies during the time of active labor and childbirth was recorded and then translated into a musical composition. “Soundscapes in Motherhood” serves as a conceptual portrait of the artist’s son, and represents the capacity of human connection represented through a technological interface. 

Soundscapes in Motherhood has been presented as a live symphony performance for Mellon Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA,  presented as a sound-based work recording in gallery-based sites, and published in Digital America Art Journal and Feminist Spaces.
