Music For Intersecting Planes [LP], Kali Malone / Bordreuil,Leila, Vinyl

Music for Intersecting Planes marks the first collaborative release between cellist Leila Bordreuil and organist Kali Malone. Minimal in means yet expansive in effect, the music unfolds like beads on a thread, punctuated by silence and deep breaths. Shifting currents of air pressure emerge from the manually pumped organ, enriched by the cello's finely drawn harmonics to form a microscopic and granular perspective of timbre. Interference patterns spin the sound mass as Malone and Bordreuil play against the stillness of sine waves. Church bells ring in the distance. Undulating feedback gives rise to insistent calls from the organ before yielding to a tragic cello motif. The album then closes with the brief and jubilant pizzicato exclamation, "Endless Dance of Eternal Joy."Recorded by candlelight at the Temple de SaintThéoduoe in La Tour-de-Peilz in Switzerland, the music balances patience and intensity, composition and chance, severity and tenderness. In this collaboration, new facets of both artists come to light: Bordreuil's playing with heightened tonal and formal clarity, and Malone's organ work in it's most raw and textural form. Music for Intersecting Planes is a meeting of minds honoring the timeless intrigue of acoustic phenomena.
