# **JuneHeartTraits**

The Second of the Seven Sketches for the **MinaCoding** Prompt of **Humans is JuneHeartTraits**

**JuneHeartTraits** uses ***SonicPi*** code to sonify the speculative nature of what traits a digi-physical human heart may sound like in this realm that is being built.

As explained in [https://blog.illestpreacha.com/decibelschallengepersonaldata](https://blog.illestpreacha.com/decibelschallengepersonaldata):

> I wanted the sounds to represent the various stages a heart goes through in a workout. This explains some of the chaotic tension/feelings that can be heard in this track

## Poem

```ocaml
Magic that is within
Others may not see
But for the beholder 
it is never hidden
As it is a folder
That holds the gateway to the rhythm
That has its own ocean, its own sea
That may open to its own breeze
The magic that is within
That others may not see
```
