In Greek mythology, Charon was the son of Erebus, god of darkness, and Nyx, goddess of night – he was the ferryman who transported the souls of the deceased across the river Acheron to the Underworld. Payment was required to cross; souls who were unable to pay risked wandering along the shores of the river for a century!

This piece attempts to evoke a feeling of sinister darkness & foreboding by the formless improvisatory nature of the track, which features again, my own chromatic variation of the ancient Greek Dorian Mode; as also featured in track 3, "The Sorcery of Circe" & track 8, "The Hex of Hecate".

The more unsettling, more percussive attack heard in this piece, is courtesy of my carved wooden plectrum, which opens up an entirely different soundscape to the slightly thicker timbre, heard in the rest of the album, which featured a plectrum made of carved goat’s horn.
