Presented with Melbourne Recital Centre

Laurel Halo live with Leila Bordreuil

Fri 22 Aug

Melbourne Recital Centre – Elisabeth Murdoch Hall

Acclaimed composer, producer, and DJ Laurel Halo brings an enigmatic sound to the stage for this rare live performance of new works.

Globally recognised for defying genres while harnessing an unmistakable sonic signature, Halo is a bona fide shape-shifter of sound. Halo’s oeuvre – flitting between ambient, jazz, experimental, left-field club and avant-pop – defies classification. Over the past 15 years, Halo has forged a remarkable path with celebrated releases and collaborations with leading artists across music, design and contemporary art.

At Melbourne Recital Centre, Halo performs at the grand piano, joined by cellist Leila Bordreuil. Together, they blend precise sound design, layered composition and masochistic amounts of subtractive EQ dissolving the space between performer and listener.

GENERAL ONSALE MON 23 JUNE, 12PM

Laurel Halo stands against a grainy blue/grey gradient wearing a grey suit and white shirt. Her vibrant red hair flies out to the side and swoops over her face. Her left hand is in her pocket, casually.

Halo’s fifth solo album maps a diaphanous universe in which no line extends for long without dissolving into an inky blot, and even the densest, most massive shapes might disintegrate beneath a puff of breath.
Pitchfork, Philip Sherburne
