Stephen O'Malley

Grafika, Experimentální | Stephen O’Malley is a musician, composer, curator, and visual artist who has conceptualised and participated in numerous drone and experimental projects for over two decades – Sunn O))), KTL, and Khanate being among his best-known. Wildly prolific, O’Malley’s oeuvre defines a breadth of multidisciplinary interests: music characterised by its physical extent, experimental approaches, plasticity and a deep commitment to valve amplification. It includes collaborations with a wide range of experimental musicians and composers, including Scott Walker, choreographer Gisèle Vienne, the authors Dennis Cooper and Alan Moore, Alvin Lucier, Fujiko Nakaya, Jim Jarmusch, experimental music research centres IRCAM, INA-GRM (Paris), EMS (Stockholm) and many others. A tireless live performer who has toured extensively and has performed over 1000 events worldwide since 2000. His live performances feature a reverberating fog of electric guitar minimalism – sorcery that challenges boundaries of space and time.
