In her sound piece Soundscapes in Motherhood (2019), Jamie Kessler performs a musical composition of her fetal contractions and heartbeats that she experienced during the birth of her child. The piece embraces melodic sounds that are pacifying to the ear and “serve as a conceptual portrait of the artist’s son,” while also representing “the capacity of human connection represented through technological interface.”
