Hi
I want to illustrate Greek myth about Odysseus, more precisely the part describing his adventure with Sirens.

"At sea once more we had to pass the Sirens, whose sweet singing lures sailors to their doom. I had stopped up the ears of my crew with wax, and I alone listened while lashed to the mast, powerless to steer toward shipwreck."

There is the concept of Odysseus.
Previous post was the concept of Sirens.

There is a detailed Siren.
I wanted to achieve half-organic half-mechanic surrealistic structure.

I wanted to show the Odysseus' story, more the Sirens' adventure.
I wanted my work abstract and surrealistic. These are some phrases describing this story:

"At sea once more we had to pass the Sirens, whose sweet singing lures sailors to their doom. I had stopped up the ears of my crew with wax, and I alone listened while lashed to the mast, powerless to steer toward shipwreck."

"Grindcore, often shortened to grind, is an extreme music genre that emerged during the mid?late 1980s. It draws inspiration from some of the most abrasive music genres ? including death metal, industrial music, noise and the more extreme varieties of hardcore punk.
Grindcore is characterized by heavily distorted, down-tuned guitars,[3][4] extreme tempos, frequently accompanied by blast beats, songs often lasting no more than two minutes (some are seconds long), and vocals which consist of growls and high-pitched screams."

"The blast beat is a drum beat characteristic of grindcore in all its forms,[7] although its usage predates the genre itself. In Adam MacGregor's definition, "the blast-beat generally comprises a repeated, sixteenth-note figure played at a very fast tempo, and divided uniformly among the kick drum, snare and ride, crash, or hi-hat cymbal."[7] Blast beats have been described as "maniacal percussive explosions, less about rhythm per se than sheer sonic violence."
