Dustin O’Halloran is an American pianist and composer with five acclaimed solo albums under his own name, and is a member of the band A Winged Victory for the Sullen, which has released five albums, some based on scores and soundtracks. He had previously released music with dreampop band Dēvics – which he co-founded alongside Sara Lov in his late teens – and then began a promising career as a solo artist. Tracks from his first solo album Piano Solos (2004) were heard by music supervisor Brian Reitzell, who passed them on to Sofia Coppola to help inspire her script for Marie Antoinette.
His newest album Silfur (2021) is his first full length in a decade and was released by Deutsche Grammophon. It contains re-imagined versions of select songs from his catalogue and examines time and place. He ended 2021 with a contribution to the Deutsche Grammophon Christmas album Winter Tales, the track entitled ‘What Gently Flutters’ featuring Bryan Senti.
