ATOLLS by Malo Moray & His Inflatable Knee

This album is a celebration of curiosity and trust.
During 2020 and 2021 I composed numerous pieces in my studio - poured my heart and soul out to music in challenging times. I sent these improvisations to other musicians whom I trusted. No instruction given but to record only one take, following their intuition.

"Composing is just putting the right people in the right place." - John Zorn

The right people were in the right place. This odd situation of not-being-together created a powerful mediated togetherness; opened spaces for the sceneries, meditations, musical paintings, outbursts, contemplations of this album - Atolls of human beings expressing themselves through music in times of separation. This album unites 5 of these comforting and wild territories - in an adventurous piece of art that funnels our curious approach in music into visible form - driven by the spirit of music.

Enjoy the ride,
Malo

This album is dedicated to my grandmother who was the most curious listener I ever knew. And to my dear friend Ariella who trusted my musical self long before I did.

Malo Moray celebrates slowness and curiosity in his Music, with inimitable depth and clarity. He dives deep into the worlds between ambient, krautrock and jazz; with double bass and electronics, developing an intriguing pull into his sonic world. His art is a revelation of creativity and deceleration - rooted somewhere between Brian Eno, Faust, Sunn O))) and the Soundwalk Collective.
