Laurel Halo

Laurel Halo is an American composer, producer, recording artist and musician, born in Detroit and based in Los Angeles. Her music is known for its depth and sense of presence, melding the materiality and spirituality of sound to focus on concepts of transmission, memory and impermanence. Drawing influence from musique concrète, film score and jazz, she uses both organic and inorganic sound materials, an extensive studio-as-instrument practice, and a deep appreciation for harmony to create her signature sound across a stylistically diverse catalog. She has toured and presented work around the world at places including the Barbican Centre, Ina-GRM, the Sydney Opera House, Kölner Philharmonie, Unsound Festival, and the Julia Stoschek Foundation, among others. She has collaborated with musicians, artists and designers including Moritz von Oswald, Metahaven, Kevin Beasley, Julia Holter, Hanne Lippard, John Cale, Leila Bordreuil, Julian Charrière, and the London Contemporary Orchestra. The album Atlas (LP, 2023), the first on her Awe imprint, was met with wide acclaim.
