Yes, maybe.

Domenico Pandolfo was born in Palermo (Sicily, Italy) on the 10th of March, 1979. Since he was a child he began to listen to music and at the age of 12 he started to play piano. After several years experiencing with classical music, he explored the various world of dance music, starting to listen to the '90ies dance anthems, till the advent of progressive-dream and techno (more than 10 years ago,'93-'94). His favorite artists during that period were Gianni Parrini (the "Father" of dream music), Robert Miles, Gigi D'Agostino (the first one who invented the Mediterranean Progressive) and many others. Looking at their tunes, Domenico decided to experiment with music composition for the first time in 1996. He spent a lot of time making his own compilations, starting to mix and edit tracks with Cool Edit Pro and other multi-tracks and sequencers (Acid Pro, Cakewalk), although his first "love" was "Music Creation", a funny and easy to use program (at least for that period), created for Playstastion's users, ideal to "assemble" every kind of music in a few moments. It started like a game, but after a few years expanding his passion for music in all directions, Domenico decided it was no more time to "play". Using many new software and various equipment, he finally realized that his favorite kind of music was (and is) Trance. His "icons" are some of the most important djs and producers in the world: Dj Tiesto, ATB, Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Gabriel & Dresden, Above & Beyond, etc. During the last few years he has been living in Huddersfield, a nice students' town located on the north of the United Kingdom. He graduated in Popular Music Production (Computing and Engineering) at the University of Huddersfield itself.

Pretty much everything. Generally i like listening to all kind of music, from Classical to Techno, but my favorite genre is Trance, with all its sub-genres. I love Dance and Electronic basically, but i like composing (and listening to) any other style and genre, especially Film Scoring (Symphonic and Instrumental or Orchestral pieces).
