Signs of Life

Nadim Mishlawi

Sharif Sehnaoui

Nadim Mishlawi and Sharif Sehnaoui explored the sounds of the hospital—both machine-generated and ambient—to reintroduce them into the hospital setting. They recorded sounds from various medical machines and hospital spaces and produced two new ringtones for anyone to download, a waiting melody for the phone lines and a short elevator tone that layer the raw and processed machine sounds with an additional instrumental track recorded at DB Studios.
