Dustin O’Halloran contemplates ideas of technology and humanity entering the age of artificial intelligence on his visionary next album 1 0 0 1. The Grammy-nominated composer and pianist has written the electronic-forward album in four movements, based on a collaborative and dynamic dance work first premiered in 2019 with dancer Fukiko Takase. Together with an eight-voice choir, Paul Corley on electronic production and the Budapest Art Orchestra, O’Halloran explores a sonical space in which to slow down and reflect about our ever-more-rapidly evolving world.
O’Halloran’s second single “Cymatic Love Spiral”, which evokes arguably the most powerful of all human emotions, is now available. The spirit of love dances in the form of a violin solo, played by the composer’s friend Bryan Senti; it gradually intertwines with a riff for soaring strings before dissolving into silence.
