Kali Malone

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. Kali Malone’s recently released albums The Sacrificial Code [2019], Living Torch [2022], and Does Spring Hide Its Joy [2023] quickly rose to international critical acclaim, the latter charting #4 on The Billboard classical crossover chart.
