Finding the right elements for each individual project is what fuels Dino Dumandan's desire to compose music for film. Both traditional and non-traditional approaches to film scoring are not a problem for Dino. Having studied music at SMC, UCLA, and through years of heavy exploration and experimentation, he has become well versed in a variety of classical and modern styles of music.

Not only does Dino compose music for the silver screen, he has also written music for tv, theater, dance, and art galleries. Having a love of music and art in all forms has allowed him to manifest his creativity in a wide range of possibilities. Being an accomplished guitarist and producer has led Dino to a number of collaborations in the studio and on the stage. Dino has recently joined up with composer, producer, and sound designer Boon Sim to form Lionswim. The first Lionswim EP was released in 2011.
