Through the fresh breeze of spring is an underlying hymn that sings its hidden emotion.
Does Spring Hide Its Joy is a composition by Kali Malone, featuring Stephen O’Malley and Lucy Railton. Created during the pandemic, it blends organ-like sine waves, droning guitar, and cello in just intonation—slowly unfolding into a vast, minimalist soundscape that explores time, resonance, and presence.
Kali Malone’s meditative structures meet Stephen O’Malley’s deep, droning guitar and Lucy Railton’s emotionally rich cello work. Each artist brings a distinct voice—minimalism, weight, and texture—that together create one continuous, immersive experience.

The poster is inspired by the convergence of these three voices, each represented through different mark-making elements. The colours nod to spring’s usual palette—pink and green—but are darkened into a melancholic harmony of orange and blue. The typography mimics sound waves: rising, falling, distinct yet always in dialogue.
The vinyl expands on this harmony, offering three unique covers, each tied to an artist and a natural element—warmth, water, and earth. The glossy varnish on the title captures the quiet mystery of spring’s hidden layers.
