Composer and organist Kali Malone (born in Colorado in 1994) moved to Sweden in 2012 when she was only 17 to study composition.
Sorrowing Christ (2016) was a collaboration with a Colorado artist (A.M. Rehm). The tape contains the sinister 12-minute Judgement & Death.
Velocity of Sleep (2017) contains the 22-minute organ sonata Black Gate in three parts.
The third movement already exhibits the quality of straddling the border between the celestial and the ominous.
Cast of Mind (2018) contains four compositions for
Buchla synthesizer and acoustic instruments
(bassoon, trombone, bass clarinet, etc), notably
Cast Of Mind and
Empty The Belief.
Organ Dirges 20162017 (2018) contains four introspective organ solos, notably a short version of Glory Canon III.
The Sacrificial Code (2019) contains two hours of
meticulously engineered compositions for
pipe organ, including
Spectacle of Ritual (10:53), the closest thing to a religious experience,
Rose Wreath Crown (10:26),
Sacer Profanare (8:48),
Litanic Cloth Wrung (13:25),
and a 23-minute live version of Glory Canon III.
This slow, ghostly, hyper-minimalist music of drones
amounts to an austere study of intervals and intonations
The 14-minute Pipe Inversions (for Kirnberger III), a collaboration in just intonation with a bass clarinetist, appeared on the compilation The Harmonic Series II (Important, 2021).
The 33-minute piece Living Torch (2022), composed in "11-odd limit just intonation" (each pitch has a ratio that is a multiple of 11) for ARP 2500 synthesizer, trombone and bass clarinet, explores a far more sinister sound universe, ending with overtones that approximate
the German cosmic music of the 1970s.
The one-hour Does Spring Hide Its Joy (2023) for sine wave oscillators, guitar (played by Stephen O'Malley of
Khanate
and Sunn O)
and cello (Lucy Railton), was first recorded in 2020 in empty concert halls during the covid-19 lockdowns.
The 78-minute album
All Life Long (2024) contains several collaborations, including
some with Stephen O'Malley
(The Unification of Inner & Outer Life) and
the eight-minute organ solo All Life Long.
