about

Humouring Gods is a suite in 8 movements that delves into Greek mythology.​ It was originally composed for orchestra and two guitars. In this interpretation, most of the orchestra has been replaced by guitars. Bass and keyboards complete the arrangement with timpani.

​​In Greek mythology, you often find the typical story of Zeus falling in love with a mortal woman. Of course, when his wife Hera finds out about it, she endeavours to transform the poor human woman into some lowly creature. For example, Io was changed into a cow.​

​​Hera takes her wrath on the woman as Zeus would surely kill her if she took it out on him. Question is, how does the woman feel?​

​Imagine that this once fabulous woman has been turned into a harpy. She has her beautiful face, breasts, and body except... Where she used to have arms, she now has the wings of an eagle. Where she used to have legs, she now has the claws of an eagle. And she has the tail of this same bird.​

Any man will be attracted by her beauty, yet repulsed by her body.

about

A-J Charron Montreal, Québec

​A-J met himself in Belgium. His parents were living in France, being Canadian and all.

Being dragged from country to country led him to the middle of nowhere. ​He migrated to the big city in 2000. The big city is still trying to recover.

He's low-maintenance, domesticated and generally harmless, but try not to stare directly into his eyes. And don’t feed him; he may nest in your back yard.
