Chalk Dinosaur

Pittsburgh producer and multi-instrumentalist John O’Hallaron built Chalk Dinosaur around electronic beats, then expanded the project with a live band. Its sound moves between dance grooves, funk and psychedelic rock, with instrumental productions alongside vocal songs. Albums such as Fire on the Beach, Spectrum and Song of an Eastern Wind showcase that range, while Spectrum grew from a collaboration with members of the live band. Depending on the performance lineup, Chalk Dinosaur can take the form of a live-electronic duo or a fuller ensemble.
