OKYPETE AND AELLO

(2019)

“…the Harpies of the lovely hair, Okypete and Aello, and these two in the speed of their wings keep pace with the blowing winds, or birds in flight, as they soar and swoop, high aloft.”
- Hesiod

“Bird-bodied, girl-faced things they are… their hands are talons, their faces haggard with hunger insatiable.”
- Virgil

“Clawed feet and swollen feathered bellies; they caw their lamentations in the eerie trees.”
- Dante

Birds recorded with kind permission of Jersey Zoo. This is a stereo version of a 4-channel piece.

Okypete and Aello was featured on Ablaze Records' 'Electronic Masters 8'.
