This composition transcribes these communication methods, using live voice and recordings of Paul, to make a vocal map of Pauls life & relationships. It is an intimate examination of communication, both subtle and nuanced, and asks questions of what it means to be human.\n Conducted by James Weeks, ?Hello Halo? is shaped by Ruby?s own (a neurodiverse musician) & her brother?s lived experience, but is aimed at both neurodiverse & neurotypical audiences.? ?\n ?She?s one of a range of superlative instrumental artists in England - Colley?s soundscapes are standouts among them all.??????
