Terami is one of the most unique singers I have heard in a very long time. Every song she sings reveals something new about her and the listener. Her heartfelt lyrics are guaranteed to touch the souls of those with a wide variety of musical tastes. Watching Terami perform is like watching a beautiful dancer as she caresses each note. She creates an almost visual tapestry of sound.
Terami has both a formal musical and cinematographic background. but it wasn't until she took time off to live in Ireland, that she found the courage and inspiration to begin her career as an independent artist. Arriving during the rainy season, Hirsch found herself composing music on leaning, upright pianos in hotel lobbies throughout western Ireland. Hirsch's lonely experience as a foreign traveler in a lush, folkloric landscape inspired her to scribble lyrical fragments in journals and scraps of paper. When she returned home to Los Angeles, Hirsch compiled and translated those musical impressions, recording her first album, All Girl Band (1999), on a rainy, three-day weekend. She followed up her musical debut, with a more rhythmic, electronic album, To The Bone, in 2002.
Her third album, Entropy 29, released in November of 2005, was exclusively authored, recorded, produced, and programmed by Terami. Entropy 29 is an impressive testimony to her disciplined and musically intensive approach to autonomous album creation. The precisely crafted songs on Entropy 29 are arranged around expressive, bitter-sweet piano melodies with lyrics that conjure up darkly botanical, imaginary landscapes. Entropy 29 is a haunting meditation on memory and longing from a provocative and insightful independent artist.
