Here is the story of how Valentina and Franz started their adventures in the world of music and of how they gave birth to IRIDIO.
VALENTINA – I started playing classical guitar when I was 12 years old and I took lessons for about two years. At that time I used to play at home by my own trying to learn the songs I heard on the radio. At the age of 15 I felt the need to play in a band with other people: me and some school friends founded a rock band called Dogma where I played the bass and sang some backing vocals. This experience showed that I had good vocal skills and made me understand that singing was my real passion. I started taking lessons and I spent a couple of years singing in many different bands. I really loved Celtic and ancient music, so I studied opera singing for a while, which turned out to be very helpful for that kind of music. In 1998 I became the singer of the heavy metal band Beholder; I’ve recorded three albums with them and I’ve played many concerts and big festivals. I’ve always been a very open minded artist and I’ve always been interested in experiencing different musical styles, therefore I also took part in some pop and dance productions. The turning point was when I met Franz: he revealed to me the magic world of electronic music and I soon fell in love with it.
FRANZ – My obsession for electronic music started when I was a child. We had music lessons at school and the teacher wanted us to buy an instrument: all my friends came with a recorder… I was very proud of my CASIO VL-1 (a popular “mini synthesizer”)!! Of course I was not allowed to play it during the Christmas school concert!
Some years later I started taking piano lessons and I studied it for ten years.
I played the keyboards in some rock and pop bands and in 1997 I was asked to play in a blues band called Louisiana Train. I performed hundreds of concerts and famous festivals with them and I’ve recorded many songs for some blues compilations. Once again my Roland JP 8000 synth was not welcome…
I’ve always felt a deep interest in music technologies: I studied as a sound engineer and I created my own recording studio called Apeiron Recording Studio.
In the last few years I’ve been involved in some pop and dance projects.
In 2002 we decided to mix up all our musical experiences and tastes and so we gave birth to IRIDIO. The first album called WAVES OF LIFE is released by Standing Stones Records.
