Working on the video of “Summer Breeze”
By dario | March 7, 2010
Last week I’ve been working on the video of “Summer Breeze”. The video will merge footage of the band recording the song and images about inmigration (the song is about this social phenomenon and its psychological consequencences).
Some friends of us helped me to record the video: Adams Sané (the guy with me in the photo) starred the video.
But I also would like to thank Vanesa who made the shoots and Francisco, Mirna and Kathy who will be on the video too… thanks a lot my friends!
The video will be released in the next months… So stay tuned!

On Tuesday January 12th, 2010 an earthquake, a magnitude of 7.0 devastates Haiti. We immediately knew that we had to reach to help all those in need. It has been wonderful to see the outpouring of love and donations for the relief of Haitians through various ways. This helped with the immediate need of basics like food water and some medical needs.
That said, there is a much bigger picture that needs to be addressed, the welfare of the children the homeless, the rehabilitation for those that lost limbs and the rebuilding of a nations infrastructure ie; hospitals schools roads and so on. So we reached out to our brothers and sisters in the music community to help us with this cause. Within minutes of reaching we started receiving music for our upcoming release “Songs for Haiti – Relief Through Music” the final outcome is a 2 CD set that will be available through many Digital retailers like Mindawn CDbaby, itunes, Amazon, Rhapsody and other fine Digital online retailers.
All proceeds to be donated to charity.

Christmas rehearsals and recordings
By dario | January 7, 2010
Christmas Time was very busy for ifsounds.
The band worked hard recording some of the tracks you’ll find in the album we’ll try to release in this 2010.
It was a great experience: the old members of “if” (Claudio, Franco and me, Dario) started this new job with the new members (Elena and Enzo), trying hard to find a good bandship for the new band called “ifsounds”. I enjoyed a lot the rehearsals and I’m sincerely thinking that all of you fans and medias will love the new music we’re working on!
Enzo is an extraordinary drummer. We had some “technical” problem in the very first rehearsal (the gears were not completely ready!!!), but we could manage them and then we discovered a real “war machine”, who performed his drum parts with great technical precision and a lot of fantasy. I can say we’re working with another great drummer working with us after the experience with the talented Luca “Pingu” Di Pardo in “Morpho Nestira”.
But the nicest surprise of the sessions was Elena: we had already worked with her in the past and we all appreciated her job, but in the last three years she developed and improved her skills. Her voice now reached a new maturity, she’s now more powerful and expressive… in one word, Elena is perfect to shape our new sound and our music has now a new colour that I really love.
In the next days I’ll upload some video of the rehearsals on ifsounds.com. Hope you will enjoy them.
Stay tuned and have a wonderful 2010!

Russian spam
By dario | December 3, 2009
We’re receiving a lot of spamming comments from Russia.
Now, we know we’ve got lot of fans there (thanks to our friend Navigator!!!), but I really can’t understand why so many spammers keep on writing messages and comments on our site in Russian promoting everything (I can read Russian a little bit).
Do you really think that ifsounds.com may help your promotions?
