Submission to ‘Ekho:: Toward a Repetitive Sounding of Difference’

A composition of field recordings gathered in Moray, Scotland.

After an extended listening session, there will be an opportunity to discuss the form and function of the instruments and the experimental processes involved in the production and performance of the works.

“I distrust the prism and its fantastic spectrum. I regard it as an art of enchantment, as an unfaithful mirror of nature, more proper by its brilliance to create flights of imagination and to serve error than to nourish minds solidly and to draw obscure truth from deep wells. The prism is the apparatus of the imposter.” Louis Bertrand Castel (1688-1757)…

“Sound is central in Tally’s creations. Her music is a flow of playful contrasts where a sense of humour and poetic use of sound are blended to mix.

In recent years, importance of orchestral music has increased in her oeuvre. Sometimes she uses elements of jazz, folk and pop, Nordic or exotic instruments (Estonian kannel, didgeridoo, tanpura, accordion and others) and treats sound material with a modernist open mind.

Never Trust Cock Rock is a magazine and blog about women in electronic music, that merges articles from and about woman in the electronic music scene from the net. Founded in 2012 and situated in Leipzig the blog collects articles, links, pictures and music absolutely subjective. We are heading for a self-reflective music scene in Leipzig and other places, where dance crews, organizers and DJ’s understand activism not in terms of visible and invisible male majority and identity only.

So cut the prick in your head and enjoy reading.
