BIO:
I.D.E.A. - Imaginary Department of Electronic Arts
The trio, born in 2012, is a good example of the meeting between live music and the electronic area. The band members, 3 smart italian guys from 23 to 28yo, classically trained, come from different experiences, including jazz, classical, pop-rock, club music and djing. All this wide background merge into a young and fresh live show, in wich good interplay, beautiful melodies and special effects can find their natural place. The music they play falls between synthpop, neoclassical, electronica and experimental.
