Album Notes

Sound is central in Mirjam Tally’s creations. Her music brims with playful contrasts – humorous, dramatic and poetic uses of sound are mixed there. Her early works mainly include chamber and electronic music in which acoustic and electronic sounds often interweave. In recent years, importance of orchestral music has increased in her oeuvre. Sometimes she uses Nordic or exotic folk instruments and treats folkloric sound material with a modernist open mind.
Mirjam Tally graduated from the Estonian Academy of Music in 2000 as a student of Lepo Sumera. Since the autumn of 2006, Mirjam Tally lives and works in Visby on the island of Gotland, Sweden. Her orchestra work "Turbulence" (2006) has gained several international recognitions. In 2009 Mirjam Tally was hired as the Composer in Residence for 2009-2011 by Swedish Radio P2 channel.
