In 2019, composer and musician Helen Anahita Wilson was identified with breast most cancers. Her subsequent therapy turned the artistic spark for the work Linea Naturalis, by which she recorded the micro-electric fluctuations of vegetation utilized in anti-cancer remedies and chemotherapy, turning them right into a 45-minute soundscape.

To create the piece, Wilson collaborated with London’s Chelsea Physic Garden, a botanic plot with a big assortment of specimens which have medicinal and therapeutic properties. She took 28 bioelectric recordings from vegetation utilized in most cancers therapy. This included Madagascan periwinkle, which has yielded compounds used to deal with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and a few forms of leukaemia, and English yew, whose extracts have led to chemotherapy medication for breast and ovarian most cancers.

Every plant had a singular signature, affected by mild, temperature or wound therapeutic, which Wilson then transformed into audible sound and layered right into a last composition. “Having had chemotherapy and surgical procedure and radiotherapy,” says Wilson, “I’ve completed plenty of wound therapeutic myself.”
