Sirens

about

In Greek mythology THE SEIRENES (Sirens) were three monstrous sea-nymphs who lured sailors to their death with a bewitching song. They were formerly handmaidens of the goddess Persephone and when she was secretly abducted by Hades, Demeter gave them the bodies of birds to assist in the search. In ancient Greek art The Sirens were depicted as birds with either the heads or entire upper bodies of women. In mosaic art they were depicted with just bird legs –

Hence, I chose an original field recording of peacocks, who not only are alluring and have beautiful feathers but also have loud raucous calls, which I thought might make strange voices of Sirens.

My Sirens are looming out of a darkness, fierce bird like creatures sounding like foghorns, screeching and wailing as they sit in rocky sea caves, waiting for their next prey.
