Recording this record was a mystical experience. A year and a half ago I started with the idea of writing an album that was full of positive thoughts. Then in the course of 2020, because of what happened and is still happening, I changed my perspective. I decided to write stories. Stories of madness. Of ordinary madness. Stories of eternal love. Stories of darkness and fear. Stories that had other stories in them.

This is how IF was born. A wonderful fresco of what comes to life in my mind. In dark days and sunny days. At night and when there’s fog. It was amazing to confront Bj ørn Riis and ask him for advice on drafting some songs. It was wonderful to involve a longtime friend like Massimiliano Ferrari. It was a journey I never wanted to end. But now that the album is ready to release, I’m proud and proud to be able to present it to you. Thanks to those who want to listen to it.
