Sound Factory are Julie P. (vocals & programming), Giovanni “MJ” Signoretti (piano & keyboards) and Roberto “Bob” Baruffaldi (drums & more). Back in summer 2002, at a special musical and poetry event in Rome, where many different artists followed one other, Giovanni played for the first time with the singer/songwriter and composer Julie P. as an acoustic duo, piano and voice.

Giovanni then started along with Julie the work of production, creating new songs, changing some of her old songs and taking care of the arrangementes and composing the parts of all the instruments. The intense work of the pair gave birth to the realease of “Dreaming on” (2007), a DEMO CD including thirtheen tracks and featuring the precious collaboration, as supervisor and more, of the drummer Roberto “Bob” Baruffaldi who, other than being part of the live line-up (together with Giacomo Anselmi/guitar and Fabio Penna/bass and Valerio Passi/2nd guitar), also entered the project in full title

60 Were Enough

Coming out of Rome, Italy, 60 Were Enough is a contemporary jazz trio consisting of Jacopo Ruggeri on guitars, Luciano Poli on electric and acoustic basses, and Paolo Cavalieri on drums. Their sound is influenced by the newer generation of improvisational, instrumental music, typified by Medeski, Martin and Wood, as well as slightly older sonic explorers like David Torn and Steve Coleman. To label this music as "Acid Jazz" would not quite do it justice. 60 Were Enough remains true to the old school philosophy of fusion from the 1970's and their recordings center around the live performance aspect of the trio, with a minimum of added textures from sequencers, synthesizers and the like, that are pandemic in the majority of today's jazz/electronica crossovers
