Magnetism marks the meeting of two unique artists in experimental music. It unites Drew McDowall's roots in the industrial avant-garde of Coil and Psychic TV with Kali Malone's foundation in contemporary organ composition, pure intonation, and electroacoustic music, connecting two generations in a deeply complementary partnership. On Magnetism, Malone's poignant melodies manifest within McDowall's signature timbre synthesis, forming a unified voice that resonates with clarity and vitality. Although recorded in just a few days, the project grew out of a decades-long friendship, fueled by ongoing conversations about music and life, and years of guiding and supporting each other in their artistic practice and personal development. "We trust each other, our respective areas of expertise, and our unique strengths," they say of the recording process. It was an experience filled with intuition and confidence, which they attribute to their friendship. The album was conceived spontaneously in McDowall's Brooklyn studio, where the foundation of the music emerged almost instantly. The two decided to set some boundaries for their improvisations: They programmed bespoke moods on a monophonic modular synth patch and recorded the performance takes without overdubs. "Playing this music felt like singing, as I was freely following my inner voice," says Kali. Reaching these melodies, in turn, felt instinctive, like uncovering a long-forgotten memory. She continues, "I'd been holding onto many of these melodies for so long." McDowall's synthesis approach uses Karplus Strong synthesis, delay, and distortion, which he shapes with an intuitive touch, elegantly transforming Malone's motifs. "The music is surprisingly accessible, even though some of the timbres are extreme," says Drew, "it's not threatening or even opaque. We might even be playing with pop elements." After leaving the recordings untouched for a year, they returned to find the music transformed: "It felt like it had taken on an eerie, mystical quality." Driven by the attraction of repetition, resonance and saturation, Magnetism pulsates as living music that captivates the senses and resonates in the memory long after the last notes have faded away.
