Dustin Hanusch
Release Date: November 20th, 2020

Child's Play
Release Date: October 9th, 2020
My first fully distributed collaboration, Child’s Play was recorded and produced by the lofi producer YounginBeats. The guitar tracks were recorded in his makeshift studio as his children played video games (on silent) in the background. The kid’s reactions to the game were picked up as we recorded and were modified as YounginBeats edited the tracks, thus adding the organic sound of children playing in the background and inspiring us to name the piece Child’s Play.

A studio take of me performing Andantino Op. 241, No. 5 by the prolific classical guitar composer, Ferdinando Carulli. In this take I add certain improvisational jazz elements they are not exactly conventional to the genre.
I Kissed A Girl
Release Date: July 17th, 2020
A studio take of my solo guitar arrangement of Katy Perry’s I Kissed A Girl.
Positively Lovely
Release Date: May 22nd, 2020
The idea behind my Debut album was to have a piece of work that represents my live performance, as far as repertoire, technique, and style, are concerned, but also incorporates a rhythm section when appropriate. All the arrangements were made by myself and each one is, in essence, a solo guitar arrangement. Meaning, that if you were to strip away the other instrumentation, you would have a solo guitar piece that could hold its own weight, with a few exceptions.
The pieces appear on the album in chronological order by release date, ending with the only original piece on the album, Positively Lovely, from which the album gets its name.
Positively Lovely is a piece of music that I had been writing for my wife for the past couple of years prior. The deciding factor in calling the album by the same name as her song was that when we were in Washington visiting my Grandparents a couple of years before the release, I was performing for them and in between pieces my wife (then fiancé) remarked that I should have my own album. That statement made me believe that I could, and in fact should, have my own album, so really, the whole album is dedicated to her.
Reflection
Release Date: March 20th, 2020
My solo guitar arrangment of Reflection from Mulan was created in anticipation of the live action Mulan movie. The single was originally set to be released one week before the movie premiered, however, the premiere of the movie was delayed by six or so months due to COVID-19. I still released the single at it’s originally scheduled release date and was able to enjoy a sort of second release when the movie finally premiered.
Frozen Heart
Release Date: November 15th, 2019
Frozen Heart is a three track EP of entirely instrumental and primarily acoustic arrangements of songs from the original Frozen. This EP was put together in anticipation of the movie Frozen II and was released one week prior to the release of the movie.
I'm Yours
Release Date: October 4th, 2019
My entirely instrumental, primarily acoustic, arrangement of Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours. Originally arranged as a background track so my wife’s little sister could sing it at our wedding for our first dance. The background track came out so well that I made an alternative version with me playing the melody on the guitar and released it as a single the day of our wedding.
Culmination
Release Date: March 22nd, 2019
My debut EP, Culmination, is a collection of four original pieces of music. With sounds that lean toward the Post-Rock genre, Culmination is an entirely instrumental, primarily acoustic work that was heavily inspired by bands like Thrice and Thank You Scientist. I felt at the time that all of my experiences, musical and otherwise, had culminated to create this EP, hence the name.
