A collaboration between Cullen Miller and James Jano. Originally released quietly in the Fall of 2019.

Halosar is the collaborative project of multidisciplinary artists and childhood friends James Jano and Cullen Miller. The two attended the same elementary school in Detroit, where their shared interest for art, music and chess forged a lifelong friendship that would eventually become Halosar. As adults, James worked largely as a touring drummer for various projects, while also composing his own music for moving image and film. Cullen meanwhile worked as a renaissance polymath, effortlessly combining spatial-media and systems art with sound design and composition. Over the years, their respective paths would find them in different corners of the map, James in Los Angeles via Brooklyn, and Cullen in Berlin via San Francisco. It wasn’t until 2017, however, that the two got together for a formal collaboration, retreating to a cabin in upstate New York with the express purpose of making a proper record. Thusly Halosar was born.

To this day, the two remain bitter chess rivals, with their record being 967-119-3 in James’ favor.
