dustin o'halloran - Lumiere
Berlin-based American composer Dustin O'Halloran has proven himself to be something of a survivor in the disparate modern/post classical scene. His first solo record appeared way back in 2004, and instantly set him alongside Max Richter, Johann Johannsson and Goldmund as a purveyor of fine, melancholy piano compositions. Here however, O'Halloran has wisely filled out his sound, and with the assistance of Stars of the Lid's Adam Wiltzie, Johann Johannsson and the ACME orchestra, 'Lumiere' reaches places I never thought his music could go. Firstly the compositions on show here are perfectly formed - even from the initial granulated notes of opener 'A Great Divide' it seems instantly obvious that the album is going to be something special. Slowly and patiently the piece (and album) builds into a flurry of piano notes, tempered drones and gorgeously recorded orchestral sweeps, and O'Halloran keeps everything masterfully restrained. Like Max Richter's career-high 'The Blue Notebooks' there is the sense that the music could accompany some kind of cinema or other, and there is an audible narrative that changes with every listen. In fact adding images might defeat the point of 'Lumiere' (itself a reference to cinema) - these songs bring to mind fragments from our memory and fuse them with Kieslowski, Bergman, Tarkofsky and even Lynch. The resulting haze is the record's deepest power - the ability to wake up the subconscious and bring it right up to the surface. 'Lumiere' is a beautiful, moving piece of music and one that is a clear high point in O'Halloran's catalogue - don't miss it.
