The Sacrificial Code (LP)
Kali Malone
Amoeba Review
Originally released in 2019, minimalist composer Kali Malone's breakthrough record The Sacrificial Code returns in an updated 2025 version. Timeless, experimental, and bordering on the sacred, these pipe organ compositions seem to reach through time from the days when medieval churchgoers bowed their heads to organ hymns to the record players of today. The songs are soaring and awe-inspiring yet deeply human, creating a mesmerizing and marvelous listen. The Sacrificial Code (2025) features Malone's archival organ photography and a new 2023-era arrangement of the title track recorded on the Malmö Konstmuseum's 16th-century meantone organ.
