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 SacrificialCode [2019], Living Torch [2022], Does Spring Hide Its Joy [2023], and All Life Long [2024], quickly rose to international critical acclaim. She has performed extensively, presenting her music at Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Philharmonie de Paris, Radio France, Rockefeller Chappel, Grace Cathedral, The Southbank Center, Bozar, Schauspielhaus, Unsound Festival, Musica Festival, Berlin Atonal, Moogfest, and Kanal Pompidou amongst many other museums, contemporary art spaces, concert halls, churches and festivals throughout Europe, North America, and Australia.

Her commissioned work and invited residencies include the Ina GRM, The Venice Biennale, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Lafayette Anticipations, The Richard Thomas Foundation, MACBA, The and Elektronmusikstudion. She has collaborated and performed with various artists, including Stephen O’Malley, Lucy Railton, Macadam Ensemble, Frederikke Hoffmeier, Leila Bordreuil, and Drew McDowall.

Originally from Colorado, Malone relocated to Stockholm in 2012. She is currently based between Stockholm and Paris.

Stephen O’Malley is a guitarist, producer, composer, and visual artist who has conceptualized and participated in numerous drone and experimental music groups for over two decades – SUNN O))), KTL, and Khanate being among his best-known creations.

Wildly prolific, O’Malley’s oeuvre is defined by its remarkable breadth, complexity and multidisciplinary interests. It includes collaborations with a wide range of experimental artists, including Scott Walker, Kali Malone, Alvin Lucier, choreographer Gisèle Vienne, the authors Dennis Cooper and Alan Moore, Peter Rehberg, Fujiko Nakaya, Jim Jarmusch, Johan Johansson, experimental music research centers IRCAM, INA-GRM (Paris), EMS (Stockholm) and many others.

O’Malley is also a vigorous live performer and has toured around the world since 2000. His live performances feature a reverberating fog of electric guitar minimalism – sorcery that challenges boundaries of space and time.
