"With resonances both rising and falling Leon Helland of 語り部 constructs dialogues between tonal structures which call across to one-another over the expansive space crafted by the aural architecture. Halos is a practice in restraint, touching only the frequencies necessary for the emergence of a non-objective landscape. The thoughtful and well placed overtones give additional holds for which to grasp the larger shaping of the pieces where a seamless and unpretentious blend of field recordings ground the compositions in reality.

The phrase 語り部 which roughly translates to 'Storyteller' serves as a nod towards the process which Leon uses to compose his music: writings and personal observations. Taking his influence for Halos from the novel Solaris, Leon provides the listener with a sample of emotions this novel provided him. Thus building a sonorous world transcribed to his point-of-view."
