Recorded at night by candlelight in the Temple of La Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland, Music for Intersecting Planes captures the immediacy of sound in space.
Cellist Leila Bordreuil and organist Kali Malone dubbed the session back in 2021 when they were given access to the Temple of La Tour-de-Peilz, a chapel with two organs that’s just near Lake Geneva. Malone plays organ and sine tones while Bordreuil plays cello and feedback, leaning in to the building’s natural resonance.
As night fell, they lit candles and began to record, letting the natural ambiance from outside (birdsong, church bells) bleed into the air, focusing their performance to bring out the most disquieting resonances.
