about
Estonian composer, born November 28, 1976, Tallinn. Sound is central in Mirjam Tally’s creations. Her music brims with playful contrasts – humorous, dramatic and poetic uses of sound are mixed there. So far she has written chamber and electronic music in which acoustic and electronic sounds often interweave. In most cases she uses Nordic or exotic folk instruments (Estonian zither kannel, didgeridoo, tanpura, accordion and others) and treats folkloric sound material with a modernist open mind. In Tally’s works Estonian poetry (Hasso Krull, Elo Viiding, Indrek Hirv) holds an important position. Mirjam Tally graduated from the Estonian Academy of Music in 2000 as a student of Lepo Sumera. During the studies she also received guidance in electronic music from Rauno Remme. In 2003 she obtained the master degree at the Estonian Academy of Music. 1998–2004 Tally was active as a freelance program host in the Estonian classical music channel Klassikaraadio; from 2003 she has been working as an editor of the Estonian music magazine Muusika and has published articles on music also in other editions. In August 2005 Tally was in Visby International Centre for Composers as a grantee of NOMUS. Works she created in VICC´s electronic music studio premiered at the Dark Music Days festival in Reykjavik in February 2006. Since the autumn of 2006, Mirjam Tally lives and works as freelance composer in Visby on the island of Gotland, Sweden. Mirjam Tally has collaborated with ensembles and soloi
