Thank you for everyone who has taken time to listen to 1 0 0 1, and for all your great feedback, it means a lot! There are still some limited edition art prints signed by me, that come with an album purchase, check here! -much gratitude- Dustin
I am so happy to finally share the entire record of 1 0 0 1 with you. This record has been a long journey, starting as a dance piece with many philosophical discussions on nature, consciousness, technology, and the body with choreographer Fukiko Takase, and then returning to the material and re-imagining it as a standalone experience. Making the record felt almost indulgent, exploring themes that I am personally interested in, but I hope you will enjoy this journey. My deep thanks to Bryan Senti, who co-wrote the first two chapters with me and was a huge encouragement to release this work. I created it to be experienced as a whole, listening to it from start to finish, perhaps a lot to ask in this moment, but I think these immersive moments are needed even more now. Play it loud! Available on digital, LP and CD here.
thank you to everyone who helped create this recording!

Harmonic Dream Sequence. The third chapter of Dustin’s new record 1 0 0 1. Listen here.
The 3rd chapter of 1 0 0 1 , ‘Harmonic Dream Sequence,’ takes us through a vortex and down a rabbit hole. It’s a sonic exploration of our current zeitgeist, delving into the dream-like state we are entering in the age of AI, where our ideas of reality and what it means to be conscious are blurred. It’s a moment shared with technology before we step into the unknown. I aimed to explore a completely electronic world, primarily recorded with analogue synths to maintain an organic touch, complemented by additional production from Paul Corley. The visuals, crafted by Reykjavik-based digital artist Owen Hindley, perfectly capture this essence in both imagery and words.
Cymatic Love Spiral. The second chapter of Dustin’s new record 1 0 0 1. Listen here.
“Between two intertwining lines, a contemplation of love in both the tangible and intangible aspects of existence.
Recorded in Reykjavík and Budapest, cowritten with Bryan Senti on violin, featuring the Budapest Art Orchestra and mixed by Francesco Donadello“

The music video for Dustin O’Halloran’s “Spiritus Naturae Aeternus,” featuring the evocative dance and choreography of Fukiko Takase, serves as a poignant allegory for the cycle of life. The long, uninterrupted scenes uphold the dance’s integrity and allow the choreography to connect with the haunting melodies, the requiem-like cadence, and the profound themes of O’Halloran’s composition. The contrast between Iceland’s natural beauty and the desolate urban settings provides a transformative journey from organic to artificial environments. Within a bleak world, Takase’s dance becomes an expression of the enduring process of growth, renewal, and eventual decay – Markus Englmair
