The American composer and musician Kali Malone is considered one of the most important figures in the contemporary drone music scene. With albums such as The Sacrificial Code and Does Spring Hide Its Joy (with Stephen O'Malley & Lucy Railton), she has both revitalized the genre of minimal music and brought sacred and early music into the context of contemporary sound. In doing so, she seeks to liberate music from its religious framework and attune our ears to ancient, sometimes forgotten tuning systems and the unique acoustics of (church) spaces.

For a special edition of the Listen! series, Kali Malone will perform an organ concert in the beautiful Kulturkirche Paulus. Right at the start of the new year, she invites the audience to a slow-motion listening ritual that, true to the name of the series, encourages attentive and focused listening. She will be accompanied by her partner and musical collaborator Stephen O’Malley, widely known through the band Sunn O))).
