Siren

electroacoustic work
2014

SIREN is an electroacoustic listening experience of being abducted by sirens: a journey through different sound worlds. Listen with good headphones for maximum effect!

The clip on this page is a shortened, condensed version of the work.

1. You walk along the beach and hear a faint whisper, drawing you to a seashell. You pick it up and hold it to your ear.

2. You hear whispers through the shell, and the whispers become singing. A lullaby; an invitation. It is beautiful, but it soon glitches and becomes distorted, drawing you into the water
.
3. With a splash, you become submerged. You hear music underwater. The sounds on the surface seem far away.

4. With a gasp, you emerge from the underwater world, but still hear the sirens' distorted singing. You rapidly remove the shell from your ear, throw it back into the water and walk away.
