I try to keep it unusual.
Unusual that I pick the same album that was featured on Stephen Mejias’ #NewMusicFriday. This way when it does happen it remains special. Un-usual.
But if you know my likes when it comes to music, you know that there are some artists I gravitate toward with a harder pull than others and one of them is Kali Malone. All to say, you may have seen this one coming.
From the album notes:
Recorded at night by candlelight in the Temple of La Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland, Music for Intersecting Planes captures the immediacy of sound in space. Cellist Leila Bordreuil and organist Kali Malone join in a work of austere, ritualistic presence, where the granularity of air, the vibration of strings, feedback, and subdued sine waves intersect in sculptural form.
Church organ and cello is a mini-theme of late with last week’s pick, She Came Through The Window To Stand By The Door from Natalia Beylis and Eimear Reidy, featuring the same setup albeit in different places. Have organ must travel.
Leila Bordreuil : Cello + Feedback
Kali Malone : Liardon/Felsberg 1995 Organ + Sine Waves
This is music to absorb with one’s full attention ideally in the dark where you may just find it will alter your priorities at least during the listening. If you’re lucky, the alteration might just stick around even longer.
