this is seriously incredibly, reminds me a lot of The Australian Voices

This etherial and solemn piece tells the story of Hine-nui-te-po (Great Woman of Night). She was created by he father, Tane, out of molten rock and ash from the Red Earth (Mount Rangitoto). Seeking a wife however, he decided to marry his daughter. When she found out the truth about who her husband really was, Hine-nui-te-po descended in rage to the underworld becoming the Goddess of Death and Night.

Text:
Hine-nui-te-po.
Goddess of Night,
Goddess of Death.
Created by her father Tane
From molten rock of the Red Earth.
Hine-nui-te-po.
The woman had no idea who she was,
Nor did she know of Tane’s wicked ways.
Quickly began his incestuous plan.
In mere days they had wed.
His wife so misled till she heard of the news
And descended to the underworld.
Hine-nui-te-po.

SIREN is an electroacoustic listening experience of being abducted by sirens: a journey through different sound worlds. Listen with good headphones for maximum effect!
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. Through the shell, you hear whispers, and singing grows out of this. Initially, it is lullaby-esque, but it soon glitches and becomes distorted, drawing you into the water.
3. With a splash, you become submerged. You hear music underwater and are also aware of sounds from the surface. 
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.

This is a shortened, condensed version of the work.
