[2] Hall is a member of [Bedroom Community](/source/Bedroom_Community), an [Icelandic](/source/Iceland) [record label](/source/Record_label)/collective. Her music is formed from close relationships with singers and writers and she seeks her own ways of using technology and live performance.[3] Hall has received the *[Paul Hamlyn Foundation](/source/Paul_Hamlyn) Award for Artists* (2013), the *Genesis Opera Prize* (2006) and the *[Royal Philharmonic Society](/source/Royal_Philharmonic_Society) Composition Award* (2005).[2][3] The world premiere of her opera *Sante* took place on 24 May 2006, co-produced by Aldeburgh Productions and the London Sinfonietta, directed by Tim Supple.[4] It utilised African melody and rhythm.[5] Her one-act opera *[Found and Lost](/source/Found_and_Lost_(opera))* premiered in January 2016 at the [Corinthia Hotel](/source/Corinthia_Hotel_London) in London.[6] *Folie à Deux* (2015) is a collaboration with Icelandic writer and long-time [Björk](/source/Bj%C3%B6rk) collaborator [Sjón](/source/Sj%C3%B3n).
