Victory Beats opens a new page in the development of our music therapyWorld-famous musicians join the therapeutic sessions. The first was our good friend Shantiago, who conducted a live online session from Thailand.
Shantiago is a famous Spanish musician and DJ who began his career in the mid-90s. With considerable experience behind him, he also practices sound healing therapy and develops a special platform Damaru Sound Journeys.
We plan to organize such events on a regular basis and expand the locations of the sessions. Stay tuned!
On March 20th, at Rich Mix London, the first private screening of "Resonance Beyond Borders: The Sounds of Ukraine" took place — a documentary created by SW Productions in collaboration with Hospitaldnb, Hospital Records and Sounds of Ukraine project.
The documentary is about the power of music, uniting people even in the toughest times. It highlights the journeys of Ukrainian Drum & Bass artists who, despite all the challenges, continue to create music, support each other, and share their culture with the world.
During the premiere, SOU team organized a fundraiser by selling branded SOU merchandise to support work at the charity project Victory Beats. Thanks to this initiative, more than 25,000 UAH was raised, which will be used for the special cause.
Victory Beats provides music therapy for veterans and war victims in Ukraine. The raised amounts will be spent to buy musical instruments for Abilitation Center HUB (Lviv), where therapy sessions have been taking place since 2024.
It is worth noting that such prominent members of Hospital Records and SOU as London Elektricity, Degs and TheLena have also previously supported Victory Beats with their music.
A huge thank you to the entire team and everyone involved in the creation of this film, as well as to all who attended, supported the project, and shared their love. Music saves lives!
Maksym lost his hand in the war, but he did not lose his will and desire for self-expression. After months of searching and developing a suitable mediator, along with initial attempts to play the guitar, we held our first full-fledged lesson.
It is a great honor to be with such a positive and determined person!
Ada lost a leg in the war and nearly lost the other, but doctors were able to save it. Thanks to Victory Beats music therapy at the Superhumans Center, she has been able to pursue her passion for drumming, which in turn has also helped with the rehabilitation of her leg. In this video, she shares her impressions, thoughts, and plans for the future.
Playing musical instruments significantly improves memory, reduces stress and anxiety, helps with physical rehabilitation, and greatly boosts overall mood. Our instruments are available to everyone, and the classes are led by some of the best musicians in Ukraine. The sessions are designed so that visitors can continue practicing even after being discharged from the rehabilitation center.
Therapeutic music playing is not a school or an exam. The methodology is designed to make the process engaging, even (and especially) for those who have never held an instrument in their hands before.
On average, patients stay in the centers for two weeks to a month, and even within this short period, they achieve noticeable success and experience a truly positive time.
Currently, we use piano, drums, various percussion instruments, guitars, a harmonica, and a DJ console.
