    A piece of music caught between the human and alien, the reassuring and the uncanny. [May 2020, p.91]

    Halo tackles these chunky themes and textual cacophony with a score that never sits still, folding synthetic sounds into acoustic recordings and darting across time and space with the efficiency of a jump cut.

    Halo's assertive pieces, with Oliver Coates on cello, heighten the experience. [Jun 2020, p.29]

    Halo's score is detailed and meticulous - but far more sombre than her usually playful, exuberant records. [Jun 2020, p.100]
