Halo Shift by Filtrance

Halo Shift, for us, it wasn’t just about making another album. It was about trying to bottle the feel of a single night shift, the kind where every beep and hum has a story. We wanted to see if those tiny, anxious whispers of a patient’s heartbeat could really swell into these sky-wide chords as the sun finally inches up. It’s a journey, really, over ten tracks, from the quiet hum of a ventilator pulse at midnight to that massive, glowing synth choir right at dawn. It’s our way of tracking what caregivers go through, that raw, inner struggle, and then the sheer relief when everything just clicks – machines and human touch, all in sync.

We’ve pulled sounds straight from the heart of it all. You’ll hear those trademark dialysis clicks still driving the snare, but this time they’re weaving with softer neonatal monitors, warm dulcimer arpeggios, even some crowd voices we recorded at ICU fundraisers. It’s about grounding that whole tech-versus-humanity thing in something real, something hopeful. Like that moment in “Halo Sync,” where all the biometric halos suddenly align and Rowan slams the SP-404, hitting that hook, “we hum, we heal, we rise.” We’ve seen entire crowds light up with that one. And then, when you get to “0700 Code Helios,” that six-minute climb, with the children’s choir... that’s the collective exhale, the sound of lives saved and spirits lifting. You can feel it in your gut.

For us, turning clinical data into something you can dance to, something cathartic, it’s more than just music. It’s about showing that those everyday victories, the quiet heroism that keeps us all going, those aren’t small things. They’re universal rites of passage. We poured everything into making this immersive, making it feel like you’re right there in the ward with us, riding out the night. It's a deep dive into resilience, into the raw, urgent hope found in the most unexpected places. We hope it sticks with you, makes you listen a little closer to the steady pulse of the world.

Filtrance: We take the quiet fight and turn it into uplifting release. Feel our progressive sound lift you higher.
