Duomo - Topic

Axel Tenner and Daniel Belardinelli met in 2014 while operating their individual studios from inside Music & Motion Productions - where they both were individually composing music for film and media. The two were quick to creatively connect and became friends.

It was in January of 2020 that Duomo caught their big break as Netflix’s hit show and cultural sensation Bridgerton used their cover of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams." The song connected with Bridgerton and Taylor Swift fans all over the world causing the song to reach #1 on the US Spotify Viral Charts.

However, in 2022, Daniel Belardinelli tragically and suddenly passed away. A horrifying and shocking loss for Tenner and Duomo fans.

In a touching tribute to Belardinelli, Tenner took the last few stems and musical ideas that Daniel sent him before his death and brought them all to life in beautiful Duomo fashion in Duomo’s latest release Signals in March 2023.

Like the hopefulness and optimism that their music brings to sonic life, Duomo’s brand and music will continue on in remembrance of Belardinelli and beyond. As of 2023, Tenner has since been joined by award-winning Spanish composer Tomàs Peire Serrate. Serrate also knew Belardinelli, and with Tenner, both have vowed to continue to carry on Belardinelli’s legacy together through the now well known Duomo pseudonym. Tenner and Satare may be the “new” Duomo duo, but the musical energy and ambition remains a unified and cohesive entity for eternity.
