About Dennis Gagliardotto

Dennis Gagliardotto's love for video games and film spans way back to his first memories of playing Super Mario World on SNES as a kid. Since then, an eclectic taste within those mediums and a constant investment in the innovation and artforms of each have consistently inspired him to push and do more on the creative front. Though he would write thought-provoking short-form stories as a kid when others would use their time smashing their Megazords and ZOIDS into each other, it was his introduction to music composition that would eventually become a catalyst for the things he loved most: video games and film. Music has the power to elicit emotion and is a big contributor to both video games and film as well, and through constant practice, wonder, and exploration, he would eventually find his signature sound that would blend these two, providing a retro cinematic take on Trance music before eventually going to a heavily emphasized ambient and film-score approach to his melodic future. All of this would eventually allow him and his music to be performed, compiled, played, and promoted through various outlets and establishments, including being featured on Richard Durand's "In Search of Sunrise", BT's "Laptop Symphony", performing at EDC Chicago, and providing official remixes for the likes of Lights, Gareth Emery, and Linkin Park. Music since then, however, has taken a hiatus - though smaller projects occur on the side - and now he focuses on graphic design and further creating content and contributing towards the , development, and promotion of video games and film, where his words can be found as blurbs and promotional material for the likes of Proletariat's Spellbreak, Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm, and Nintendo's Mario Kart 8. Currently, he's writing his first book due sometime in 2022.
