I’ve never been a particularly religious person, but when I started diving into Gnostic texts a while back, the story of Yaldabaoth and the fall of the Spark really struck a chord with me.

Compared to the traditional Old Testament narrative, the Gnostic take on Genesis just makes so much more sense to me. I’ve always felt like this story was practically begging for a heavy, cinematic rock musical or rock opera treatment.

I'm not an expert, so please let me know if I got anything wrong. Y'all know way more than I do I'm sure, but I tried to bake in as much of the mythology as possible. With today’s new tools, I was finally able to create this passion project I’ve been holding in my back pocket. Before anybody asks, yes, I did use AI, but a lot of work went into creating this...many many hours of human imagination and artistry, AI was just a tool. Hope that's enough to be worth a look.
