#3214: With Dustin O'Halloran
Dustin O’Halloran is an American pianist/composer based in Berlin, whose approach to solo piano music is geared to avoid being lumped into either the buttoned-up classical tradition or the vapid noodlings of new age. He has developed an introspective, cinematic, perhaps “post-classical”/”post-rock” sound, which feels atmospheric, emotive and melodically direct.
O’Halloran joins us in the studio for this edition of New Sounds, for live performances on our Steinway, and to talk us through his most recent works, both “Vorleben” (Past Life) and "Lumiere," (with the ACME folks.) His website also just announced that he and Stars of the Lid member Adam Wilzie have a forthcoming duo record slated for September of 2011.
