About
Mermecolion is a somewhat obscure mythical creature. It is a hybrid, combining the body of a giant ant with the head and foreparts of a lion. The combination of such physically contrasting species is the motivation and inspiration for this piece, in which several sound-worlds are combined to create a hybrid sound-world: strings and flutes, Balinese gamelan, and electronics.
