Living Torch

Album Notes & Community Reviews

On 'Living Torch', Kali Malone shifts from her notable pipe organ compositions to a complex electroacoustic ensemble, blending trombone and bass clarinet with the ARP 2500 synthesizer and other electronics. The album consists of a single, two-part composition that unfolds through slow, deliberate movements, creating rich harmonic textures and a dense, meditative atmosphere. By meticulously layering acoustic and synthesized drones, the work explores justly tuned harmony and the material qualities of sound, marking a significant expansion of her minimalist approach.
