Maudalie Love the general softness in all of the songs, in the voice and the cords. Though what really hit me was the clarity of the emotional shifts in Love Lost, very palpable, very raw and beautiful :) Favorite track: Love Lost.

alabean incredibly beautiful and raw ep. ivan dario captures darkness and light in balance with each other - co-mingling through his instrument and voice in a dance of nuanced tone. a reflective and impactful set of melodies, each telling a unique and personal story. has been great to listen to for both introspection alone and connecting with others together.

So Easy 03:51
you make it so light and easy like the air that we breath like that water that's been sold to me you make everything easy being me you make it so light and easy

So Shallow 03:40
When we kissed it felt so shallow I wanted it so deep I could drown in it To touch so close I need it closer too far too much distance standing in the way Snow, ice, water flows the valley fills land separates people evaporate leaving streaks like wine

about

Four songs about two different people, four different types of love. It starts with the fond serenity of being at ease with someone, through the desire for wanting more out of the relationship, conflict, and later reminiscing of what's passed

I wrote these songs over the past year, gradually fleshing them out and finally putting them together as one concept. In that year I left jobs, moved cities, and fully realized my purpose was to be my authentic artistic self. Expressing the love I've had for others is a huge part of that

Not wanting to waste time, I recorded everything in my small bedroom in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montréal. All songs were recorded with a Zoom mic for the guitar and knock-off SM58 for voice, going through Ableton Live to dial in some reverb and delay. The music stands on its own so I went for a clean, simple style that I can easily replicate live

Nearby, there's an area called Terrain Vague or the Wasteland. The short story is it was abandoned industrial land locals took over to host raves, bonfires, that has since been appropriated to expand the port. DIY and post-industrial spaces have always attracted me, so I went many times taking photos. In -15ºC, I got the shot used on the cover

I appreciate everyone that encouraged me to put myself out there as a song-writer and look forward to crafting and developing as an artist more in due time. If you enjoyed this, please feel free to say how the music affected you. I genuinely love it

about

Iván Darío Montreal, Québec

Introspective, moody, melancholic songs have always been my forte. I draw inspiration from the simplicity of slowcore, lyricism and timbre of Latin American folk, with the harmony of jazz chords. You haven't met a bedroom guitarist quite like me, that's guaranteed

Whether you need to reflect, take a walk in the park, or vibe, this music fits.
