“Sorimuni 2” for string orchestra (2016)
“Sori” means sound and “muni” means pattern, decor or imprint in Korean. In this title, the word “muni” can be translated also as “image”.
My “Sorimuni” pieces are a series of compositions to research the aspects of sound and to maximize its interior world. “Sorimuni 2” is a soundscape for approximate 8 minutes long, where you meet the sound of string orchestra always in changing. You can imagine the movement of clouds which is never predictable. These happen in categories of concepts such as “texture”, “contrast”, and “volume”.
This piece is dedicated to composer Paik for his 80th birthday.
Jonas Tarm (b. 1994, Estonia)
“Memories of the Earth” for string orchestra (2019, premiere)
Tallinn Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1993 by conductor Tõnu Kaljuste.
