Hi! My
friend! How are you?
Hi, buddy! It's alrigh, thank you!
Who is Ida
Elena behind the scenes, and in your daily life?
I am kind of the same person I am on stage:
completely crazy, always willing to have fun and
discover new things! I love being in nature,
surrounded by any kind of animal. Who knows me since a long time also knows
that, in my mind, I am always "on stage": I am continuously looking
for the inspiration, that may come at any time, so it's very easy for me to
take my mobile and record a melody that comes to my mind, unexpectedly!
Tell us who
is Ida Elena in this time 2014?
2014 seems to be a great year so far!
My song "Midnight prayer"
featuring Maddy and Nancy - the Sisters
of the Moon (ex Blackmore's Night), Albert Dannenmann (ex Blackmore's Night -
Cantus Lunaris) and Tomas Goldney (Bare Infinity) will be finally out!!
I joined Bare Infinity and it's an amazing
opportunity for me; first of all, I love this band (and I love Greece as well)!
Oh,a funny fact: for the audition, where I was picked amongst singers from all
over the world, I had to sing one song in particular which is called
"Awakening Moonlight" (you can find a version of this song sang by me
on youtube), and I found this fact quite strange since I wrote two songs called
"Awakening" (featuring Gaby Koss) and "Moonlight"!! And
secondly, I have the chance to be the songwriter of this band, so I can give my
own personality to the songs we will be performing! I hope to do a good job!
Then, I am performing with Cantus Lunaris at Crana Historica, which is a great
festival in Kronach (8th of June) and we'll be at "Semper memento
Historia" , next to Hannover (25/27th of July).
And moooooooooore stuff coming :)
What are
you doing in all this time with Bare Infinity and Cantus Lunaris? Some new
proyect?
Bare Infinity: Tomas and I are writing and
composing the new album and ...we are
going to shoot two videoclips in the Summer! But don't tell anyone :) I Can
only tell you it's gonna be... EPIC!
Cantus Lunaris: we are going to release our
second album, "Formosus fons", which is a Renaissance Music one,
featuring a song written by our Countertenor, Samuel Santana.
Then, we are working on our third cd, a rock one,
where the original songs are written by me! It's such a great honor for me, and
a great pleasure too, since I can play
and work with my two beloved friends Albert Dannenmann (ex Blackmore's Night)
and Gaby Koss (Ex Haggard)!
Which are
your inspirations in this Music? Do you have any Singer in special?
My favourite singer was always Celine Dion and,
generally, the American Female voices in Disney Soundtracks... when I think of
them, that's my idea of "singer"! I find them so powerful and
expressive! Then, I like Amy Lee very much and of course Tarja and my friend
Gaby, but they are classical sopranos, so I can only enjoy their voices,
because it's something completely different than me.
What type
of Music inside Metal you like more? And Why?
I don't have a favourite kind of music, I listen
to classical music, folk music, rock, metal, pop, so I cannot say there is a
kind of metal I like more than the others, but I can say that I really enjoy
Epic stuff, so maybe I am more the Power Metal type :)
Within the
symphonic Metal, which is what is most important to you? an album full of
history, an album full of music, or a combination of the two styles?
I think the most important thing is giving
something to the people listening to you: it's crucial to keep in mind that
when you write new songs, the people will listen to it, so you don't have to be
"weird" or too alternative at any costs. Music is not for the
critics, or for the other musicians, it's for the people! Nevertheless, I
am a fan of History and Mythology, so I
am always glad when I find some of that in an album!
What is
your range vocal?
I am a pop Mezzo-soprano.
Do you
write some songs?
Since a couple of years, I write almost every song I perform and I have to admit that it's the most awesome thing ever! I can say I am more a songwriter than a singer! it's amazing to sing your own feelings and emotions. You can find some of my songs on Youtube (the Ballad of the silver dressed lady Feat. Albert Dannenmann or Venice Tears, for example).
What's the first step when making a new song?
When I am writing "all alone", I get my guitar and I start playing: the song comes, after a while. When I am writing with Bare Infinity, I sometimes send Tomas some of my songs, and then he arranges them, or he sends me a structure already arranged and then I write melody and lyrics. However, it all comes from my instinct, since I never had a formal music education. All I can say is that I put my heart and soul in everything I write :)
Some
videoclip coming with one of the two bands?
About Bare Infinity, as I already said, we'll be
shooting two videoclips of two of our new songs in the summer.
With Cantus Lunaris, we're still choosing the
song to make the videoclip of! I'll keep you updated ;)
thank you
very much for your words! the last words are all yours, for our readers!
Thank you! All I can say is: never give up to
your dreams, even if it means going to another country (or two, in my case) to
make them come true, but always keep your own roots in your heart, so you will
always know where you came from, and it will be clearer for you to know where
you want to go! Bye!!
