Prelude 2, Dustin O’Halloran

Prelude 2, Dustin O’Halloran

Special Message: If you like Dustin O’Halloran’s music, you’ll probably enjoy our Ambient Music Blog Podcast, a continuous mix of context specific ambient music available for free.

After logging in to eMusic to grab some links to records for a couple posts, I noticed that there was a new Dustin O’Halloran piece available. It just so happens that I had exactly 2 downloads remaining for the month, so I snatched up the 2 track Prelude 2. The piece was used in a European Audi commercial. The first track is the full work and the second is the shorter edit used in the commercial. It’s nice stuff, and definitely worth a listen.

I thought for sure I had posted previously about O’Halloran’s Piano Solos, but I haven’t. It’s a great record of, obviously, piano music. I just realized that he’s also released a Piano Solos Vol. 2. It’s not currently available on eMusic, so I’m in the process of tracking down a non DRM’ed version.

Here’s the Audi commercial

    Hi Daniel,

    Thanks for reading. Unfortunately, I can’t send you a copy of the mp3 as I’m not authorized to distribute it.

    I don’t know that the tracks have been released in CD format, so it might be hard to come by in stores. If finding someone to purchase the track for you via download isn’t an option, I’m sure you can find the track on any of the P2P networks or BitTorrent.

    Of course, many of the files available through those means are in violation of copyright, so please be careful.

    Hi guys,

    I don’t have much more information to offer other than what’s in the post. Perhaps you could try contacting Mr. O’Halloran via his web site or MySpace profile:
