Mariam Wallentin listens to her heart when she makes music for all the senses. With roots partly in improvisation, partly in pop and soul, she has made music in several areas: She is one half of Wildbirds & Peacedrums and one of the creative forces in the jazz collective Fire! Orchestra. She has toured with St Vincent, Joanna Newsom and Arcade Fire and sang for Björk during the Polar Music Prize. She has worked with bands such as Deerhof and Konono no 1, toured with Icelandic and Australian choirs, international string ensembles, symphony orchestras and wind symphonies. She has composed music for TV series, most recently for Ridley Scott’s sci-fi drama "Raised by wolves". Mariam is a bonus member of The Skull Defekts, has collaborated with Damien Rice and Feist, guested on Leonard Cohen’s last album and recently composed a visual song cycle about our deepest longing, "The Wishing Well".In 2012, she started the more pop-oriented project Mariam The Believer, with which she has released two albums and a number of EPs on her own label Repeat Until Death. A third album, “Breathing Techniques”, is now recorded and soon ready to be released.
During Live at Heart, Mariam Wallentin returns to her hometown Örebro to perform music and talk to Magnus Sundell in a diacert (dialogue + concert). She is musically joined on stage by Martin Hederos. The diacert is held in Swedish.
