Since receiving an MA from Central Saint Martins (2005), his commissioned work has included a visual exploration of Stravinsky and Debussy's two-piano music in collaboration with Katia and Marielle Labeque (KML Recordings, 2006), and a two-screen interpretation of Conlon Nancarrow’s Player Piano Study No.7 (Barbican Festival, 2007).

His film for Stravinsky's Concerto for Two Pianos was screened at the 2006 L’Alternativa festival of independent cinema, Barcelona, and featured at the Victory Media Network Digital Art Plaza in Dallas, Texas.

In 2008 he won the BAFTA for Best Title Sequence for Channel 4’s television series Skins. In April 2008, his video piece In Seven Days, in collaboration with the composer Thomas Adès was premiered at London's Royal Festival Hall as a part of its reopening season. The piece was commissioned by the London Sinfonietta and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association and had its US premiere at Walt Disney Concert Hall in May 2008.

His most recent piece, Without You, inspired by a Josef Albers poem, for Channel 4’s Animate, is an exploration of London's industrial suburbia, beautifully reconstructed in digital motion.

Tal is a regular participant in Future of Sound, London’s Kinetica Museum, the British Library and Futuresonic Festival in Manchester.
