Pantofis

About Me

Born in 1978 to a wealthy dentist family in Greece Tophocles Papparambouglou enjoyed a stressful kid career as a belly dancer for national greek television. In the late 80'es Tophocles stole a great amount of gold from his own family, and escaped from Greece. His adventorous journeys lead him through eastern Europe way up to France. Inspiered by german vocal group Muenchener Freiheit, Tophocles decided to move to Germany. This is the story of Pantofis.Basically Pantofis makes music like everybody else. He relies solely on his own gifts (or lack thereof) as a musician. He developed a special multi-layering recording technique called "solophonics". It works the same way as did Van Damme's movie "Double Impact", where you could see Van Damme in two distinct roles. This is how Pantofis works too.
