New Music Just Released

---

It was at age six when Antonio Vidarte received his first 25 keys keyboard, and found himself falling in love with music. Every day he would teach himself piano, picking up melodies from records his parents owned. He found himself being intrigued by his Hispanic roots, and imitated the style of South American music. Antonio wrote his first piano composition at the age of ten and a few years later he began composing and producing music in both Classical and Melodic Trance. 

During his four years of studying music at Vanguard University, Antonio had the opportunity to go on tour with the University Orchestra playing percussion and piano. During tour Antonio performed in different cities and states such as New Mexico, Organ and Las Vegas, Nevada. Performing in prestigious venues such as the Segerstrom Performing Art Center in Orange County California.

Performing was an experience he would never forget but writing music is his passion. Soon after the opportunity arrived to compose music for several independent films, that are credited on IMDB, such as the “Number 2 Pencil” and “Becoming Bergdwarf.” 

His two favorite composers who have influenced his writings are Brahms and Beethoven. Brahms for his memorable melodies and Beethoven for his dark and haunting expressions that are felt in every musical note. Antonio takes his past experiences in life both negative and positive and canvases these emotions through his music.

Antonio's exposition to a variety of music at such a young age broadened his appreciation for both the culture and history of music. From artist such as the Bee Gees, Kool and the Gang, and the 80’s electronic era have all directed Antonio to the genre of Melodic Trance. He believes it is the driving beat and melody in Melodic Trance that can take a listener into another dimensions. His goal is to produce a track with not only a driving beat but most importantly a melody that causes the listener to search deep within themselves and open their minds to all possibilities. Antonio has performed in several venues throughout Los Angeles, Beverly Hills California, El Paso, Texas, Mexico City, Mexico, and Medillian, Columbia. Antonio's full length albums "I AM" and "Desire" can be found through the YouTube 1 link below.
