Band Story
The Numbers That Haunt the Tree: 32, 23, and the Pulse of the Unknown
In the mythic math of esoteric rock ‘n’ roll, numbers are more than just digits—they’re doorways. 32 is where it begins: the number of total manifestation. It’s Ichid—the Ego, the Self—the lens through which the entire cosmos is projected like light through a prism. It stands on the obverse side of the Tree, the world we recognize, the realm of form and presence.
But flip the Tree, and you face its shadow: 23. The reverse of 32, not by accident, but by design. It’s the number that whispers from the cracks, the signal from the other side—the so-called “reverse Tree.” It’s chaos in transition, the electric instability that sparks between two moments of balance. It doesn’t exist in form, not yet. Instead, it pulses in the threshold, in the liminal space of inbetweenness.
23 is one of the Host of Non-Being—an emissary sent to breach the gates of Being. It doesn’t arrive with ceremony, but with rupture. It hints at disruption, at hidden architecture beneath the visible world. It is the break in the pattern, the sound between notes, the breath held before the scream.
Hovering above it all is 93—the Current of Will and Love, the force of conscious creation and uncreation. The 93 Current tears through illusion like lightning, splitting apart the dreamworld we’ve built out of habit and half-truths. 23 is not the 93 Current—but it is born of it. A ripple from the impact, a spectral echo that dances through the Nightside corridors.
Then comes 203—the full unfolding of 23. In 203, the zero emerges: the void, the gateway, the dis-illusion. It is the eye of the storm, the ingress point into the unknown. It’s not absence—it’s access. The 0 doesn’t erase. It reveals. It leads the bold and the broken into the Nightside—the realm behind the veil, the place where Being becomes possibility.
These aren’t just numbers—they’re codes. Frequencies. Pathways. And if you know how to read them, how to feel them, you’ll find yourself somewhere else entirely.
Because rock and roll has always been about the edge. And this? This is the frequency of falling through it.
