Cloudwatchers is an improvisational duo founded in 2017. Their music is based on simple verbal agreements and is played without pre-established structures. The duo is formed by Tiziano Pastor at the electric guitar and Alessandro Gambato at the live electronics and electroacoustic instruments. The project refers, as the founding idea, to the musique d'ameublement, coined by Erik Satie in 1916, the performances and the recorded material are particularly suitable for synaesthetic contaminations. Exactly as in the meaning of Satie we consider our music as to listen carefully as much as to ignore completely, leaving listeners free to place the degree of desired attention.
Recently we have dedicated ourselves to the live soundtrack of experimental silent film shorts, advancing our concept of improvisation towards a sort of live/improvised scoring technique.
