Dustin O'Halloran 1001
Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning composer and pianist Dustin O’Halloran (one half of ambient music duo A Winged Victory of the Sullen) delivers his long-awaited new electronics-forward album on Deutsche Grammophon. 1 0 0 1 is an exploration of nature, consciousness, technology, and the profound implications of artificial intelligence and our understanding of it. Designed for “intentional listening” – to be experienced as a whole, in the same way as we take our time to contemplate a painting or a sculpture – this immersive album provides a space in which to slow down and reflect on some of the complex philosophical questions facing our ever more rapidly evolving world. O’Halloran recorded 1 0 0 1 at Reykjavík’s RRO Studios, where he was joined by his longtime collaborator and fellow composer Bryan Senti on violin, a hand-picked eight-voice choir, Paul Corley (Sigur Rós) on electronic production, and the Budapest Art Orchestra orchestrated by Roman Vinuesa – all mixed by Francesco Donadello. The album comes out in all formats on 22 March 2024.
