Kali Malone s DSHIJ ft Lucy Railton and Stephen O Malley Walt McClements

Does Spring Hide Its Joy by Malone with O'Malley & Railton + visuals by Nika Milano w/ an opening set by accordionist Walt McClements. Pioneer Works, in collaboration with Bang on a Can’s Long Play Festival, is excited to present Does Spring Hide Its Joy by composer Kali Malone. Does Spring Hide Its Joy is an immersive piece featuring Malone alongside musicians Stephen O'Malley on electric guitar, Lucy Railton on cello, and visuals by video artist Nika Milano. The music is a study in deep listening and non-linear durational composition with a heightened focus on septimal just intonation and beating interference patterns. The nuanced minimalism of cello, electric guitar, sine wives, and vast color fields unfolds an astonishing depth of focus and opens contemplative spaces in the listener's attention. Since its creation in 2020 at the Berlin Funkhaus, Does Spring Hide Its Joy has been performed on many European stages including Schauspielhaus, Bozar, Haus Der Kunst, the Munch Museum, along with a two-day residency at the Southbank’s Purcell Room. Pioneer Works shows are included as part of Bang on a Can's Long Play festival. With a Long Play festival pass, you can get access to both the Oneohtrix Point Never and Does Spring Hide Its Joy concerts at Pioneer Works PLUS all four days of the Long Play festival, which takes place in downtown Brooklyn between April 30–May 3, 2026.

Her music is patient and focused, built on a foundation of evolving harmonic cycles that draw out latent emotional resonances; letting go of expectations of duration and breadth offers a space for reflection and contemplation. In her hands, experimental reinterpretations of centuries-old polyphonic compositional methods and historical tuning
