Ariel Kalma is a prolific composer, multi-instrumentalist, and global traveler whose work ranges from electronic experiments and minimalism to electro-acoustic, as well as ambient electronic and globally tinged new age music. Starting with the Terry Riley-inspired minimalism of his 1975 debut LP Le Temps des Moissons, he has released dozens of albums of creative, spiritually minded music, with several volumes of archival material surfacing later in his career. He released drone-influenced albums like 1981's Musique Pour Le Reve et L'Amour, and went in a more overtly new age direction with releases such as 1996's Flute for the Soul. His early, experimental albums like 1978's Osmose were rediscovered and reissued beginning in the 2000s, and he has released several collaborations with younger artists, including Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (We Know Each Other Somehow, 2015) and Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer (The Closest Thing to Silence, 2024).
