InfluencesWe are inspired by traditional and ethnic music in general, but especially by Celtic music, ancient European music and music from the Middle East. We like electronic sounds too. We're deeply influenced by classical music and soundtracks by Ennio Morricone, Howard Shore, Harry Gregson-Williams, Hans Zimmer. We are also inspired by the following artists: Loreena McKennit, Yanni, Vangelis, Delerium.

ENDLESS WAY and WAVES OF LIFE now on


IRIDIO was created in 2002 by musician, composer and sound designer Franz Zambon and singer Valentina Buroni.
They wanted to develop an original musical style where they could mix elements taken from different cultures and traditions.
Their debut album was released in 2004 by Standing Stones Records and it’s called WAVES OF LIFE. It’s inspired by Celtic and ethnic music with some dark-gothic and ambient atmospheres. Acoustic instruments are blended with electronic sounds in a perfect synthesis between past and present. The album was highly appreciated and got excellent reviews from all major European magazines and webzines (e.i. Orkus – Germany, Sonic Seducer – Germany, Keltika – Italy, New Age – Italy). Such positive reactions gave IRIDIO the chance to perform many live shows all over Italy and abroad, supported by guitar player Maestro Daniele Defranchis. They played live at Wave Gotik Treffen Festival (Leipzig, Germany, June 2006) and Triskell Celtic Festival (Trieste, Italy, July 2006) just to mention a few. They also performed a small tour in Turkey during Winter 2005.
IRIDIO’s new album is called ENDLESS WAY.
Fifteen international guest musicians coming from both classical and folk environment worked on it and Maestro Daniele Defranchis played classical and acoustic guitar, Turkish saz, oud and santoor. The album tells the story of a very special journey made by a young woman at the end of the 15th century. She wants to break the invisible chains that hold her unquiet spirit and so she secretly follows her father (a rich merchant) on a business journey from Europe to the Middle East, discovering new worlds and new emotions.
ENDLESS WAY is a refined and emotional acoustic - ambient album influenced by Celtic, ancient and ethnic music. Elements taken from classical music are blended with sounds and melodies belonging to European and Middle-Eastern folk traditions, creating an evocative “soundtrack style” that leads the listener on a spiritual journey through time and space. Valentina’s charming voice flows like a wave expressing deep emotions with its warm sound and its unique touch which is soft and intense at the same time. An extremely careful sound research was made to create ravishing atmospheres and to emphasize all the musical nuances of the acoustic instruments, giving the album an astonishing sound quality which is uncommon among independent productions. ENDLESS WAY makes the listener travel through different worlds: from the misty Centre-European hills to ancient Venice, from the deep waters of the Mediterranean to the Middle-Eastern deserts and commercial towns of the past.
…always remembering that life is a never-ending path!
WAVES OF LIFE and ENDLESS WAY are released by Standing Stones Records.
Italian distributor: Audioglobe (www.audioglobe.it).
European distributor: SPV (www.spv.de).
Both albums are released and distributed in the U.S. by NOIR RECORDS / DANCING FERRET DISCS (www.dancing-ferret.com)

Hi my friends, sorry for my bad english (i am french). I'm falling in love of your video, music and voice on youtube (night prayer single) and when i have heard your over songs on your website i was very very happy, i would like to wish you a good luck, i leave the metal ground but my heart's staying on the medievals & celtics musics and ambiences. Good work Iridio and thanks for your music. Perhaps a later meeting on your lonely road.

Uhhh, bello: posso cominciare a creare un decreto, allora!! ;)

Io tutto bene, purtroppo il gruppo si è sciolto, ma in compenso ho trovato lavoro in campo musicale - alla New Music - quindi la passione continua!

Vedo che ti sei messa d'impegno e hai anche ottimi risultati...brrrava e bravi!!
Verrei anche io a farmio un tour in tutta Europa... *v* Ho i luccichini negli occhi!!!

Per il resto tu tutto bene? O ti dedichi anima e cuore al progetto?

In effetti merita!!

Un bacio!
