Clorinde was formed in 2005 by two italian brothers musicians and visual artists: Simone Salvatici and Andrea Salvatici. Their compositions are based on a minimalist approach towards repetition, melodies, rhythm and sounds resulting in beautiful fragile balance between tight cyclic structures and free form improvisation.
Multi-istrumentalist Andrea and Simone do an extensive use of acoustic instruments taken from Western and Non Western folk traditions (among other mandolins, banjos, bouzoukis, guitars, vibraphones, african kalimbas, zithers, clarinet, bass, electric organ, various drums and percussions) extrapolated from their original conventional tunings and use and electrified with transducer contact microphones so that they can be processed into electronic devices and amplification.
Andrea and Simone work and live in they are working towards the development of their idea of music.
