The sirens of San Vigilio (Lake Garda, Italy)

from Sounds of the Year 2019 by Cities and Memory

/

about

Punta San Vigilio reimagined by Cities and Memory.

This piece imagines if, like the stories of Greek mythology, the sirens actually lived on the centre of Lake Garda. As the waves lap, we imagine ourselves on a boat crossing this grand lake, with the low-end synths representing the sound of our boat making the crossing.

Halfway across, we slowly hear the song of the sirens, low and quiet at first, before bursting fully into an angelic chorus that draws us inexorably closer, until eventually we begin to sink beneath the waves, until it's quiet once more.
