Description

The Sacrificial Code is a landmark in modern minimalist composition, showcasing Kali Malone’s unique approach to the pipe organ, just intonation, and harmonic resonance. This deeply immersive work explores the physical and meditative qualities of sound, using slowly shifting tones, restrained movement, and exquisite harmonic detail to create a listening experience that is both intense and transcendental.

Critically lauded upon its release in 2019, The Sacrificial Code was praised by Pitchfork for its "time-stretching properties" and "clean minimalism," while Resident Advisor called it an "exercise in concentration, restraint, and focus." Tiny Mix Tapes emphasized the "intensity and intimacy" of Malone’s close-miked organ recordings, which reveal every subtle textural nuance of the instrument.

This 2025 reissue, featuring a new remaster by Rashad Becker and an unreleased live recording, "Sacrificial Code III," is the definitive edition of Kali Malone’s breakthrough masterpiece.

For fans of: Éliane Radigue, Sarah Davachi, Caterina Barbieri, La Monte Young
