At only 38 years of age, Gil Talmi is a world-renowned Emmy nominated composer with a focus on socially conscious projects. His music can be heard in a variety of films, television programs and theatre productions.

Gil's most recent work includes music for the award winning documentary feature "New Year Baby" (Broken English Prods/ITVS), the 3 hour epic "Galapagos" (BBC/National Geographic), "The Mummy Who Would Be King" (Nova/PBS), "TED: The Future We Will Create" (Independent) and a TV series for Bravo called "TV Revolutions".

A gifted composer, Gil's music reflects a wide spectrum of musical influences. His styles range from timeless orchestral to driving urban beats, from ethnic world music to electronic euro-pop.

Gil was nominated for a "National News and Documentary Emmy Award" for his work on "CBS Evening News with Dan Rather".

As the son of a conductor and flautist, Gil was conceived in Manhattan, yet borne in Louisville, KY. After two years there, he moved to Tel Aviv for a year, London for three years, Holland for ten and Israel for seven years. This preceded 11 years in the LA sun, after which Gil decided to return 'back home' to NYC in 2001. The result of such geographical disorientation is that Gil picked up English, Dutch, Hebrew, German, French and, well, music!

Throughout his life Gil studied composition with his father, Yoav Talmi. At UCLA he studied film composition with Ian Krouse and the late David Raksin. From there, he was snapped up by Paramount/Viacom. He wrote music for many of their TV shows. Gil also contributed to the Paramount music library and it is from here that his music has been selected for such shows as "Jag", "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "A&E Biography".

This bright beginning led him to work on countless films and television projects. His long-form credits include, among others, "Love Is Strange" (Lifetime), "Fabulous Fenway" (Tribute Films) and "Band Of Sisters" (Independent).

Gil is currently wrapping up the score for "Unspooled", a feature length documentary about the 'unmaking' of an NYU thesis film project. Furthermore, Gil is in the middle of scoring two other feature-length documentaries about the untold story of Ellis Island and the art and science of Origami.
