Everyone, can you take your own pulse?
You can use gently right across your wrist.
Take your own pulse and make sure you can feel it.
You can find it. It's a gentle thing.
Use two fingers.
Two fingers like someone with a good doctor would to find your pulse in your wrist.
Take a moment. Can you find the pulse?
With every pulse beat [NOISE] make it click, like a clock.
[NOISE] The idea with this piece,
it's a little bit of a bonding thing.
The idea here is, we've agreed to perform this piece for me. Thank you very much.
You're going to give each other 300 of your heartbeats.
So we're going to share this moment,
and you're going to give us 300 of your heartbeats.
So I'd like everyone to reach out and find the person next to them,
and find their pulse. Is a little harder?
So put out you're left hand,
your left wrist to the personal left to you.
That's where you're giving that heartbeat to them,
and go to your left and your right hand,
find the pulse of the person next to you.
Take a moment, this is hard, it's little intimate.
Yeah, make sure you can find it.
Takes a moment. That is pretty cool.
You're feeling this person's life,
that's every one of those is one less they have.
It's pretty amazing and we should all be able to do it.
I got it. [LAUGHTER]
You're amazing. [OVERLAPPING]
That's cool, right?
Because I couldn't find mine, I had reach for my own neck.
[LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING].
I found it.
You did? It's weird right? [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING].
It's amazing. Oh my God.
You're going to count down from 300 in your head,
and you're going to click with everyone of the pulses you feel. All right?
So the recording ends up being this large number of,
[NOISE] from all side.
When you've counted down from 300,
just stop and wait for everyone else,
it will kind of peek around, someone's going to be the slowest,
someone's going to be fastest.
Let's say that's all the pieces.
But it's going to be about three minutes long.
It take a lot of click. Your mouth will get dry.
[LAUGHTER]. You'll lose count,
[LAUGHTER] you'll disconnect and fake it and find someone that goes back, that's fine.
Just like getting the experience.
You want to close your eyes, that's fine.
It's about really thinking about I had this person's life in my hand,
and they're really giving me this gift of 300 of their moments.
Take a moment, breathe, and you start when you feel ready to.
Countdown from 300 with each click [NOISE] then click with each one of the pulses.
[NOISE]
