Prog. notes: The creation of the work is inspired by the story of the Siren in Greek mythology. Siren’s beautiful voice made the sailors who go past the sea are lost themselves, and the ship hit the rocks and sank. The work uses two acoustic instruments, guitar and soprano, combined with pre-made electronic music to echo each other, telling the story of Siren using her sweet and beautiful singing voice to gradually lead people into an illusion and fall into danger. The pre-made electronic music is designed based on guitar, soprano and aside (extract from the English poem Siren Song by Margaret Atwood), and try to let it
blends with the original sound of the instrument.
