American composer and musician Kali Malone is based in Stockholm where she contests standardised tuning through utterly magical compositions. Active in Sorrowing Christ and Upper Glossa, she has performed at Berlin Atonal and many other festivals. Her latest full-length release, The Sacrificial Code (2019), uses modular synthesis and acoustic instrumentation in organ drone pieces, eliciting dramatic feelings, while troubling the meaning of being in tune. At Sonic Acts Academy 2020 she performed as part of the Expanded Experience programme.
