About this episode

The episode explores a climactic moment in a movie where an acolyte ascends to a sacrificial altar, intertwining themes of desire and consumption.

“At the climax of the movie, the entranced and drugged acolyte begins her slow climb up the temple steps toward the ravening cold flame of the sacrificial altar. It will consume not just her body, but her soul. And she wants this. Will our hero arrive in time?” Created in AUM on iPad using the new groovebox app Snorkel Synth: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/snorkel-synth/id6759827999
