Arck Industries: Origins

What if the key to creative freedom was letting go of control?

Under the weight of an impossible deadline, an independent musician turns to spiritual practices and mystic rituals, desperate to balance the relentless pressures of surviving as an artist. But when one of his psychic experiments unlocks access to future technology, he discovers a shocking solution: biomechanical clones capable of sharing his creative burden.

At first, the clones appear to be the perfect answer, amplifying his productivity and talent. But after transferring his consciousness into these beings, he uncovers a dark truth about the price of splitting himself across multiple lives—and the dangers lurking within his newfound power.

Written by musician and songwriter Alex Arck, this gripping sci-fi novella serves as a thrilling prequel to the events of his concept album, Arck Industries. Dive deeper into the story with the immersive audio adaptation, narrated by Garan Patrick.
