The composition ‘Sirens’ reflects on the powerful forces of nature in this Anthropocene era.  

Concluding with a key change and notes of optimism and stability, this brief melody is intended to evoke feelings of; beauty and danger; warning simple humans of the repercussions of their fantastical short term temptations, and to realistically redress and rebalance their longer term role on this living planet.   

Isis, a young teen at the time of composing this tune, attends an academy school in Southwest Scotland. Isis was born in East London. Aged 6, she moved to an otherwise uninhabited island with her family and four Shetland lambs, where she was home educated and necessarily gained a daily understanding of life and death through the seasons and the untameable seas. She moved to a village in the county of Dumfries and Galloway aged 8 to attend ‘real / mainland’ school. Her bio is relevant to this composition in the sense that, for her age, she has a thorough understanding of incredibly diverse environments - from one end of the country to the other - from inland man-made metropolises to wild and agricultural, coastal environments.
