Living Torch, through its unique structural form and harmonic
material, is a bold continuation of Kali MaloneÆs demanding and
exciting body of work, while opening new perspectives and
increasing the emotional potential of the music tenfold. As such,
Living Torch is a major new piece by the composer and adds a
significant milestone to an already fascinating repertoire.
Departing from the pipe organ that MaloneÆs music is most notable
for, Living Torch features a complex electroacoustic ensemble.
Leafing through recordings from conventional instruments like the
trombone and bass clarinet to more experimental machines like the
boεte α bourdon, passing through sinewave generators and ╔liane
RadigueÆs ARP 2500 synthesizer. Living Torch weaves its own
history, its own genealogy, and that of its author. It extends her
robust structural approach to a liberated palette of timbre.
Living Torch was initially commissioned by GRM for its legendary
loudspeaker orchestra, the Acousmonium, and premiered in its
complete multichannel form at the Grand Auditorium of Radio France
in a concert entirely dedicated to the artist.
Composed at GRM studios in Paris between 2020-2021, Living Torch
is a work of great intensity, an oeuvre-monde that is singularly
placed at the crossroads of instrumental writing and
electroacoustic composition. Living Torch proceeds from multiple
lineages, including early modern music, American minimalism, and
musique concrΦte. ItÆs a work as much turned towards exploring
justly tuned harmony and canonic structures as towards the
polyphony of unique timbres, the scaling of dynamic range, and the
revelation of sound qualities.
GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales), the pioneering institution
of electroacoustic, acousmatic, and musique concrΦte, has been a
unique laboratory for sonorous research since 1958. Witnessing the
extreme vitality of the music championed by GRM, the Portraits GRM
record series extends and expands this momentum with Kali MaloneÆs
Living Torch.
The French label-partner Shelter Press is proud to continue the
collaboration with GRM, which Peter Rehberg of Editions MEGO set
the foundation for in 2012.
