Dustin O`Halloran

 usa

Glance at Dustin O'Halloran's ever-increasing list of projects, and you could be forgiven for assuming that he's something of a restless spirit. His compositions are languid and contemplative. The melodies are hestitant; plucked, slow-motion skeins of sound that fall languidly from solo piano or from naked acoustic guitar. And although they're delicate - miniature marvels of nuance and balance - they carry an unfailing emotional charge. It's hardly surprising, then, that O'Halloran's music is being used, and heard, increasingly widely.
Biography

Dustin O’Halloran’s arresting debut release for FatCat’s 130701 is somewhat of a departure from the beautiful solo piano records that preceded Lumiere without comprising any of the magical wonder of either of those albums. Here, we see O’Halloran lending his vast talents to larger ensembles and a denser texture.
