Alex:"sometimes mistakes sound better than a quantized playing... And we always mix digital and analogue. We still love playing our synths. Programming and playing! I’m not such a perfectionist when it comes to production.But I want to perfect the idea that changes constantly and it is exciting to let it go itself as it develops.Often i’d rather get the idea out and refine it later,but this later is that always put our deadlines back. Working on a song too long you lose your perspective but still there is a standard to keep when it comes to sound.In the beginning i was feeling more free to work on an idea without being the engineer. Now with technology it is exciting to have the control but it is the danger to overwork the track and it never really ends... "
Magda:"We all have other proffesions too,i have to be outside athens more than half a year.To get our ideas together can be a pain,but its part of the charm.Through modeling i get the chance to travel and i would love to travel with itenef instead,it is about time to do a short tour! 2008 is full of ambitious plans!", Alex:"to mess them up later! I guess we need a manager!"
George:"There are a lot of diverse soundscapes and it is not an album that we can label under certain music style,this is an element vital for itenef.It was like this in the past,maybe more so now".
Magda:"i have composed a piece in piano,it is dark,spotnanious and in one take! straight from my heart.And this is not the only piece that is far from ITNF electro aesthetics.I’m the new member but we are all open... it’s not about the typical verse/chorus etc,we all agree to be free to experiment with our sentiment!"
