Her compositions implement specific tuning systems in minimalist structure for pipe organ, choir, chamber music ensembles, and electroacoustic formats. Malone’s music is rich with harmonic texture through synthetic and acoustic instrumentation in repetitive motions and extended durations. The music emits distinct emotive, dynamic, and affective hues which bring forth a stunning depth of focus.

In 2016, Malone co-founded the record label and concert series XKatedral, together with Maria W Horn, in Stockholm. Her 2019 critically-acclaimed album The Sacrificial Code is a major work featuring almost two hours of concentrated pipe organ pieces with profound emotional resonance.
