Watch and listen as band members Lorena Hollander and Ciro Visconti discuss how they integrate AmpliTube for iPhone with various outboard (in-app) gear models, iRig BlueBoard and iLoud to perform select songs from their first and third albums.
Here's a few comments from Lorena (vocals, guitar, koto and percussion) about their experience with using IK's gear in creating this video:
"We are very serious about making the guitar sound distinctly the way we want. From using the IK products we reached those amazing tones we were after. The quality and versatility of tones and effects we got using AmpliTube were a great surprise!"
"With this gear we could play songs from our released albums and very closely replicate the tones of our studio recordings in a mobile-based setup. We were also able to push our ideas even further by experimenting with the technology to create fresh and very unique sounds."
About Diafanes:
Founded in 2002 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the high energy rock band Diafanes seek a departure from common rock, exploring original sonorities and timbers. The band’s body of work is inspired by Sao Paulo itself, a city built by immigrants from across the world, and reflected through the music’s strong ethnic influences. Their shows often include a belly dance performance, as well as the use of exotic instruments such as the Brazilian cuíca and triangle, theremin, castanets, and koto (Japanese harp). They have received national and international acclaim since the beginning of the band’s career, not only for the originality of their work, but also for the fusion of music with visual arts, dance and technology.
Diafanes has released 3 albums, plus singles and EPs, performed 5 international tours, including shows at the SXSW in Austin and the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC. In 2012, as a celebration of the band’s 10th anniversary, the band released their third album, entitled ” Ave”, which features 10 tracks – 5 in Portuguese and 5 in English. The album was recorded at Studio Nimbus in Sao Paulo, and mixed in Los Angeles by the Grammy award winner engineer Darrell Thorp (Paul McCartney, Radiohead and Beck) and mastered in New York by Michael Fossenkemper (Madonna, Sting and Jimi Hendrix).
