The works of composer and sound artist Kali Malone implement specific tuning systems in minimalist structures for pipe organ, choir, chamber music ensembles, and electroacoustic formats. Malone’s compositions are rich with harmonic texture through synthetic and acoustic instrumentation in repetitive motions and extended durations, emitting distinct emotive, dynamic, and affective hues which bring forth a stunning depth of focus.
Sounding the massive organ in Berlin’s iconic Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, Malone’s performance at CTM includes additional accompaniment by Stephen O'Malley – the guitarist and composer behind SUNN O))), KTL, and Khanate among other – on several four-handed organ pieces. The performance takes place only days ahead of the release of her latest album All Life Long, highlighting the organ segments contained therein.
