The musical track 'Heartbeat' was commissioned to Pete Kines in January 2014 by the video’s producer, Deva-Marie Beck, who provided the original idea of listening to the human heart and using percussion instruments. The first versions of the musical track, slides and messages — used in the video — were mutually- inspirational in the creative process towards the final version of the video. The latest version — called ‘Heartbeat’ — was composed and performed by Pete Kines who is a drummer and percussionist, as well as a senior researcher in workplace health and safety. The musical track was mastered by Andrew Kines — who also was the video editor for NIGH's first global project 'Nurses & Midwives: Now More Than Ever for a Healthy World.' -- available here in eight language versions.
The musical instruments used – in order of the musical track: Cabasa, vibraphone, glockenspiel, claves, voices (singing “Ahh”), tambourine, drum set, pan flute, tubular bells, concert bass drum, timpani, gong and bird whistles, plus — at the beginning and end — a genuine recording of a heartbeat.
