Heroarky - Healing Process
Confined to bed, he dreamt of spaces.
The sounds he longed for, from bustling cityscapes to quiet forests, formed a collection, the basis of an imaginary map of a healing journey. Three years after being diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer, Heroarky presents a sonic representation of distinct moments and feelings experienced during recovery.
“Healing Process”, created between hospital visits and treatments, is an extraordinarily intimate soundscape filled with swirling, warm, synthesizers, raw heartbeat recordings, and Organelle M ambient excursions, all reflecting the emotional states he went through - capturing the pain, the hope, the stillness, and the resilience of healing.
A vulnerable, minimalistic voyage of an ailing body and resilient mind. Raw, imperfect, and restorative, reminding us of the fragile yet constant rhythm of life.
A special thank you to my friends, family, and partner for their unwavering support throughout this challenging time and beyond.
