Reflections presents a roadtrip through the subconscious with Laurel Halo, performing piano and electronics in a duo with cellist Leila Bordreuil as part of her global Atlas tour. The night unfolds at a gorgeous historic Seattle church.
Released in late 2023, Atlas is a suite of sensual ambient jazz collages, exploring the tension between form and formlessness. Amulets opens with a set for tape loops and guitar, all paired with an immersive, projection-mapped light show.
Laurel Halo
LAUREL HALO is an American composer, producer, musician and DJ, born in Detroit and based in Los Angeles. Drawing from a range of stylistic influence, including Detroit techno, musique concrète, film score and jazz, her music employs a careful blend of pressure, decay and nuanced emotion to explore notions of transmission and impermanence.
Since 2012 she has released a number of albums ranging in genre-fluidity, complexity and scope, including Quarantine (2012, Hyperdub), In Situ (2015, Honest Jon's), Dust (Hyperdub, 2017), Raw Silk Uncut Wood (2018, Latency) and Possessed OST (2020, Vinyl Factory). She has performed in venues, festivals, clubs and institutions across the world, including the Southbank Centre, Sydney Opera House, The Kitchen, CTM/Transmediale, Sónar, and Montreux Jazz Festival, among others. She has collaborated with artists and designers including Moritz von Oswald, Metahaven, Kevin Beasley, Julia Holter, Hanne Lippard, John Cale, Hodge and the London Contemporary Orchestra.
In September 2023 she released her latest album, Atlas, as the debut release on her new record label, Awe.
Amulets
AMULETS is the solo project of Portland-based audio + visual artist Randall Taylor. Amulets employs handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar loops to create live, lush soundscapes and immersive drones.
Through the recontextualisation of cassettes, sampling, field recording, and looping, these long-form compositions blur the genres of ambient, drone, noise, and electronic music.
Seattle First Baptist Church
Known for its beautiful stained glass and dramatic copper clad spire, the First Baptist Church is a Seattle architectural landmark. Designed by Seattle architect U. Grant Fay and the Tacoma firm of Russell & Babcock, it was created in the English Gothic revival style and completed in 1912. The building is an ADA accessible space.
