MOVEMENT I: THE ASHEN

We open on a stark, monochromatic world where The Ashen, dressed in grays, move lifelessly in slow, synchronized choreography to a deep 174 Hz drone. This is a realm of unconsciousness...a metaphor for the collective sleep of society.

​

Among them, young Lesedi begins to move differently, fluid, slightly off-tempo, her colors beginning to shift. She catches faint echoes of a cello melody, this is Custos, her unseen guide.

​

Time distorts. She glimpses a more vibrant world before snapping back. Lesedi is questioning this so-called reality.

 

MOVEMENT II: PATTERNS

Now a young adult, Lesedi continues diverging from the drone of the Ashen to the frequency of 285 Hz. As she hesitates on the edge of change, a stunning new figure appears: Aspa, the glamorous, seductive leader of The Ashen.

She moves with hypnotic grace and speaks of beauty, power, and comfort within the collective rhythm. Aspa offers Lesedi a version of awakening rooted in external adoration and illusion, a false god, a mirror to Custos’ quiet truth.

Lesedi is captivated but uncertain. Custos' melody grows louder. Tension builds. Aspa watches closely as Lesedi collapses into confusion, paralyzed between illusion and freedom. The Ashen resume their patterns. Aspa slips back into the shadows, unseen but not gone.

 

MOVEMENT III: THE ORIGINS (A COMPLICATED FALLING OUT)

In a dreamlike realm, Lesedi lays suspended above a desert-like stage...an ancient dimension. Velvet robes drape her form, echoing forgotten timelines.

​

Here, she encounters ancestral memories and the archetypes of her lineage. The Ashen are clothed in desert tones, they now represent an ancient intelligence, tapped into the reality of what once was, The original humans.  Aspa does not appear directly, but her energy lingers, distorting some of the visions, a reminder of the seductive lies told across generations. Custos is showing Lesedi what reality really is instead of the linear construct she's been living in under the design of Aspa.

​

Lesedi senses the weight of inherited illusions. She begins to remember the truth.

 

MOVEMENT IV: IN THE MIDDLE — BREATH

On a golden-lit stage, mid-aged Lesedi stands tall, no longer lost. She breathes deeply, embodying self-knowledge and power. She begins to sing Custos’ melody, not faintly, but with clarity and strength. Her voice is rich, commanding, and aligned.

​

A faint shimmer of Aspa’s influence flickers at the stage’s edge...a final attempt to reclaim Lesedi. But Lesedi does not look back.

​

She is joined by Custos, then by Oswin (her higher self made manifest to a human form). Together, they form a harmonic trio, weaving sound and spirit into an epic song.

​

Aspa disappears, unable to survive in the presence of truth.

 

MOVEMENT V: LESEDI’S ESCAPE

The stage darkens. Lesedi dances in grief, mourning her former self and the illusions that once felt like safety. The Ashen reappear briefly, surrounding her like phantoms of the past.

​

But Aspa’s voice is no longer among them. Her power has fully dissolved.

​

Lesedi sees the bright light ahead, and with Custos and Oswin, she transcends the realm of illusion. Their trio now sings a new variation of the familiar melody in the liberating frequency of 852 Hz.

Aspa is gone. The path forward is clear.

 

MOVEMENT VI: THROUGH THE EYES OF LESEDI

The finale ascends with soaring voices and symphonic crescendos in 963 Hz, the vibration of unity and cosmic consciousness.

​

Lesedi, Oswin, and Custos unite in powerful harmony. Their sound reverberates across dimensions. Below, The Ashen remain still...asleep, yet surrounded by a remembering sound.

​

As the music fades, Lesedi and Oswin walk offstage, rising beyond the visible plane. Custos fades into the ensemble, searching for the next soul ready to WAKE-UP.
