Sacrificial Code

Kali Malone’s The Sacrificial Code is the 2019 breakthrough album of the acclaimed composer’s pipe organ pieces.

Her temporally informed studies of harmonics and intonation breathed life into a suite of compositions which leaves the heart moved and mind still.

This 2025 edition was mastered by Rashad Becker and features a new track Sacrificial Code III.

Pitchfork praised the album for its "time-stretching properties" and "clean minimalism". Resident Advisor described the album as an "exercise in concentration, restraint, and focus". Tiny Mix Tapes emphasized the "intensity and intimacy" of the album, pointing out how Malone’s close miking technique brings out every textural detail of the organ, creating a highly focused and immersive listening experience.
