This piece draws inspiration from the classical symphonic form, structured in three movements that depict a dramatic story of internal struggle: death (Mvt 1), rebirth (Mvt 2), and reflection (Mvt 3). The composition blends intensity and musical variety, fusing world rhythms and melodies with both classical and electronic genres.

Mvt 1: The Funeral & The Wake
The opening evokes the foreboding nature of death through deep, rumbling electronic tones and processed choral mass vocals, creating a sense of impending doom. The atmosphere gradually shifts to a calmer space, with echoing ocarina melodies and polyphonic electronic waves, hinting at vast, universal beauty. A rhythmic breakdown emerges, calling in a recurrence of the earlier disturbance. African drums signal a change, bringing in a house beat to introduce a playful, confident vibe. Dissonant synth loops and simple refrains create structure, building a sense of hope for change before the thoughts are interrupted. Machine-like low-frequency bleeps and high-pitched arpeggios set up a climactic buildup, leading to a final dissonant, heavy-metal-like clash of textures. The movement ends abruptly, leaving the narrative unresolved.

Mvt 2: Kyrie
This movement contrasts the first with a more energetic and positive tone, focused on spiritual rebirth. Drawing from techno, hardcore, psytrance, drum and bass, as well as classical Bach-like counterpoint and shamanic vocals, it creates a sense of sustained effort toward renewal. Poetic themes of the sun, moon, and "the void" reflect an ethereal reverence for the planet. Synthetic sounds evoke alien mechanics, while the finale uses the Latin phrase "Kyrie" (Lord) in a liturgical context, asking for mercy, forgiveness, and a renewal of life. The movement's drive and drama convey a triumphant, holy energy.

Mvt 3: Lullabye
Inspired by a melodic theme that came to me in a dream, this movement carries a deeply personal connection to my mother's passing. It evokes a vision of awakening in a lush, green forest, embodying feelings of hope, triumph, and joy. The lyrics take on a folk-like quality, supported by a playful bassline, jovial horns, and a stompy rhythm. As the mood shifts, mystical lyrics describe visionary experiences, accompanied by Indian tabla drums and syncopated rhythms, adding energy. A telephone-like electronic sound recalls the horn motif before transitioning into UK Garage music. Despite its positive energy, the final section hints at a darker tone, using broken lyrical motifs and robotic vocal processing to reference the cyclical nature of life and death.
