Organ recital - Kali MALONE

Spectacle of Ritual

Sacrificial Code

All Life Long

Prisoned on Watery Shore

Fastened Maze

No Sun To Burn

The Unification of Inner & Outer Life

This programme features compositions by Kali Malone from her albums All Life Long and The Sacrificial Code, adapted for the Sacré Coeur organ.

Some of the works will be played with four hands, featuring Stephen O'Malley.

Kali Malone's compositions use specific tuning systems in a minimalist structure for pipe organ, choir, chamber music ensembles and electroacoustic devices.

Rigorous and precise, simultaneously ethereal, and strikingly sonic, Kali Malone's harmonically rich music evolves through repetitive movements and extended durations to create intimate, sensitive soundscapes with astonishing depth of field. Through her hands, experimental reinterpretations of age-old methods of polyphonic composition and tuning systems become portals to new ways of perceiving harmony, structure, and introspection.

Kali has a series of international performances under her belt, including at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Philharmonie de Paris, Radio France, Rockefeller Chapel, the Grace Cathedral, the Southbank Centre, the Bozar, the Schauspielhaus, the Berghain, the Unsound Festival, at the Berlin Atonal and at the Kanal - Centre Pompidou, as well as many other museums, contemporary art spaces, concert halls, churches and festivals throughout Europe, North America, Japan and Australia.

Her commissions and residencies include Ina GRM, the Venice Biennale, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Orgelpark and Lafayette Anticipations. She has collaborated and performed with artists including Stephen O'Malley, Lucy Railton, Caterina Barbieri, Macadam Ensemble, Leila Bordreuil and Drew McDowall.

Originally from Colorado, Kali Malone currently lives between Stockholm and Paris.

The concert at Sacré-Coeur will feature Stephen O'Malley accompanying several four-handed organ pieces. Stephen O'Malley, guitarist, producer, composer and visual artist, has conceptualised and collaborated with several experimental and drone music groups; SUNN O))), KTL and Khanate being among the most well known.
