A Hidden Track: Arrhythmia
Welcome to the quirkiest corner of my website! You’ve just discovered a hidden gem—my track “Arrhythmia.” Inspired by the post-avant-garde movement, this piece reflects my 24-hour heart rate monitoring session. And I promise, it’s never been used in any game or movie! (Yes, that was a joke)
Imagine being inside an arrhythmic heart. What would you hear? How would it sound? This track attempts to answer those very questions through the art of sound. Just a little heads-up: it might not be the most pleasant listening experience, but hey, it’s all about the he-art!
Of course, the creation and story behind this piece are much longer, but I don’t want to bore you with the details. After all, that’s not what this site is about!
