about

In Greek mythology, the Nereids or Nereides are sea nymphs, the 50 daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris, sisters to their brother Nerites. They often accompany Poseidon, the god of the sea, and can be friendly and helpful to sailors.

In this piece, I use the dark & intense ancient Greek Hypodorian Mode in the pure focus of just intonation, to convey a feeling of the darkness of the oceanic depths.
