About

myrmyr is Agnes Szelag and Marielle Jakobsons creating electroacoustic songs on many instruments, such as the violin, cello, voice, bass, guzheng, piano, and accordion.  When those instruments aren’t enough, they invite friends to play with them and write scores for conducted improvisations.  Equally at home in the studio as on their instruments, they combine experimental recording techniques, production, and Max/MSP patches.  Their scores are often conceptually or process-driven, resulting in their own unique style of electroacoustic music, reminiscent of Scandinavian freefolk, lullabies, dramatic film scores, electronic and improvised music.

In Oakland, CA, Agnes and Marielle first met at Mills College in the electronic music program, where they began composing pieces for violin, cello, and Supercollider, and have been collaborating ever since.  They both received their MFA from Mills in Electronic Music in 2006.
