Explorative. High-concept. Conversation sparking compositions.
Dustin O’Halloran is an American pianist and composer known as both a solo artist and a member of A Winged Victory for the Sullen. He started out as a member of dreampop band Dēvics before releasing solo work. Dustin’s debut album, Piano Solos (2004), led to a breakthrough when Sofia Coppola invited him to contribute music to her film Marie Antoinette (2006). O’Halloran’s later solo albums include Lumiere (2011), mixed by Jóhann Jóhannsson.
With A Winged Victory for the Sullen, he scored films like In the Shadow of Iris (2016). Signed to Deutsche Grammophon, he released Silfur (2021) and the EP Sundoor (2019). O’Halloran has also collaborated with artists like Leonard Cohen and Katy Perry. His latest album, 1 0 0 1 (2024), marks a shift from solo piano to more expansive compositions recorded at RRO Studios in Reykjavík. It features collaborator Bryan Senti on violin, an eight-voice choir, Paul Corley on electronic production, and the Budapest Art Orchestra with Roman Vinuesa, mixed by Francesco Donadello.
