The Healing Process Music Video
In consideration for producing my coming-of-age art narrative, I have written a song running parallel with my experience living with grief. The song was written before I began the animation production and I took my time to develop the repertoire that I wished to share with the world. The vocal recordings are produced in separate times due to the true experience of healing my heart and soul, therefore, healing my singing abilities. Some repertoire was recorded at a studio, other repertoire was produced at home. With all recordings put together, I have developed my courage and perseverance to mix and enhance the healing process to truly match the stages of grief in my story.

Hello, Everyone!
And welcome to the Music Analogy of The Healing Process!
Let’s start by analyzing how scores from Big Hero 6 played a role in the scoring and the mixing process to my 15-minute art-narrative!
Let’s listen to the first sequence of the music movement that I wrote for the project.
This music motif is heavy on Henry Jackman’s score titled, Tadashi. You can hear this motif from this scene in Big Hero 6
This scene would be rescored and arranged using instruments from the EastWest Sound Opus Engine and scored in FL Studio 21.

Broken Wing Scene
Orchestrated version of the Healing Process
Why this Piece?
In An-J’s grieving process, she is running parallel to Hiro’s grieving process after losing his brother Tadashi; as An-J lost her mother.
Now Onto the Next Score
We’ll dive into another part in Hiro’s grieving process with one of the stages of grief focusing on anger.
The next scene I’m about to show is where *spoiler alert* is where Hiro finds out that Tadashi’s professor, Professor Callaghan, was able to save himself from the fire and Tadashi ran into the fire to save him, costing his life.
The music motif I composed is when Baymax attempted to eliminate Professor Callaghan. This score can be heard in Henry Jackman’s Silent Sparrow
Now let’s run parallel to this music motif to the scene where An-J is about to break her wings.
This scene is a point where Hiro and An-J are entering their lowest point in their grieving process; a sign of vulnerability, loss of control, and destruction.
The next part of the scoring to the Healing Process song also plays the Silent Sparrow
At An-J’s lowest point, there is a piano riff that then introduces two instruments playing together in harmony.
The instruments you hear are as follows:
A flute inspired by the Danso flute; a traditional Korean instrument
Uilleann pipes; a traditional Irish instrument
The Danso wasn’t available to score in EastWest Sound so I found an instrument closest to the instrument [Silk Instrument].
Uilleann Pipes – World Music Central
Danso Flute – Metropolitan Museum of Art
The reason for this choice is to cue Daniel Henney’s entrance into the song.
The instrumental choice is based on Daniel Henney’s origins:
His father is of Irish descent
His mother is of Korean descent
These instruments will continue to have cues in the moments when An-J is finding her voice and creating The Healing Process alongside The Heart and Soul of an Actor.
You can hear the Uilleann Pipes and the Danso Flute (interpreted) in the completion of An-J building Tadashi together through her Heart and Soul
Now We are on the Last Music Analogy of The Healing Process
The second part of An-J’s song is running parallel to Hiro’s grieving process. The music is hopeful, motivating, and generating the power that lies within Hiro and An-J.
Let’s hear a segment of An-J’s song motif
Now let’s hear Henry Jackman’s music score from where Hiro is taking his First Flight with Baymax.
This music motif is similar to The second part of The Healing Process song. This can be heard in the final part where An-J is on a cliff.
The final piece is a grand orchestration of the piece that was scored in The Heart and Soul of an Actor I will play the AR piece that Daniel Henney and Tadashi are featured in.
Now Let’s Hear the Orchestration in An-J’s Flight Scene
You can hear Tadashi’s music motif in the higher sections while First Flight’s music motif is heard in the lower register of the orchestra.
And together, you use that grieving process and transform it into something beautiful.
That’s what it means to heal.
Thank you for listening in on the Music Analogy of The Healing Process.
