On the guitar / keyboard side of things, I have many influences in no particular order, including Pat Metheny, Bob James, Larry Carlton, Joe Sample, Lee Ritenour, Jim Hall, Donald Fagen,Walter Becker, Michael Franks and many others. On the ambient /electronic side, Tangerine Dream, Steve Roach, Massive Attack, the Art of Noise, Vangelis, Claude Debussy, Ravel, I could go on and on...
Dino Frank Pacifici is that consummate artist whose sound and gift is grounded in ambient/chillout music with a jazz influence in combination with his own unique identity.
Born in Montreal on July 20, 1958, DINO FRANK PACIFICI began his musical studies at a very early age, concentrating on classical guitar. In 1982 he received his Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts (music) from Concordia University.
In 1979, Dino's first independent album, "Become a Man" (NAB Records) was released locally, and received radio air play for two years. Three years later, his single release of "Jana's Song" receives local air play. In 1986 he co-wrote NANCY MARTINEZ's 'hit'' single on the "Not Just The Girl Next Door" album entitled "Move Out" (Atlantic Records)
Over the years Dino has kept busy writing Pop-Oriented and Dance music and playing in local bands. Dino has spent many years studying, recording, and performing live in which he continuously expands his musical horizons. He has also released 6 ambient /space music cds since 1994 including Hallowed Ground and The Float Zone and 2 chillout/jazz cds. The journey continues...
Presently, Dino divides his time with his three loves, his family, being a musician and a massage therapist.

(((((((DINO))))))) Just stopping by to show ya some luv! Hope all is well in your corner of the world! New tracks sound great as always. Keep them coming!!! Sure wish I could get Hallowed Ground as a ringtone though!!! You know that still remains my favorite.
Yep it has been awhile since I talked to you. Everything is going well on my end. AV is still around after 10 years but perhaps not as active as it once was. I'm working on that though. We'll see what the rest of the year brings for AV. It is always nice to see those who were around when AV began still making great music. Hope all is well for you too.
More Psychotic Fun at your fingertips from your friend at the fringe!
