As such, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiving Torch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is a major new piece by the composer and adds a significant milestone to an already fascinating repertoire. Departing from the pipe organ that Malone's music is most notable for, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiving Torch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e features a complex electroacoustic ensemble.

It extends her robust structural approach to a liberated palette of timbre. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiving Torch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 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, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiving Torch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is a work of great intensity, an oeuvre-monde that is singularly placed at the crossroads of instrumental writing and electroacoustic composition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiving Torch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e proceeds from multiple lineages, including early modern music, American minimalism, and musique concrète. It's 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 concrète, 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 Malone's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiving Torch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.
