Ariel Kalma

Ariel Kalma is a prolific composer, multi-instrumentalist, and global traveler whose work ranges from electronic experiments and minimalism to electro-acoustic; ambient electronic to globally tinged new age music; he began in the 70's, experimenting with Revox reel-to-reel tape recorders, delays, and analog loops using organs, poetry, flutes, saxophones, and noise; he hung out in churches, recording their atmospheres and natural sounds. Ariel worked for a time at Pierre Henry's legendary Institut National Audiovisuel, Groupe de Recherches Musicales (INA GRM). Ariel Kalma made dozens upon dozens of studio recordings that never saw the light of day; each applied a different aspect of his ongoing musical development, his world view, and aspects of his global travels. While sometimes his work took on a new age bent, his experiments with electronic music never ceased. Kalma markets his own recordings via his website, labels, and digital distributors.
