Clorinde is two brothers Simone and Andrea Salvatici. we started to work together in 2005.
we do use acustic and electronic instruments. we do use video and immages for our performances and works. we like mixing up, we really do really like it. we don't like any particular scene but honest people and honest artists.
"...Using acoustic sources like banjo, mandolin, glockenspiel, accordian xylophone, kalimba as well as electronics / laptops, the two tracks here showcase a really luscious minimalist style that recalls Steve Reich / Arnold Dreyblatt / etc. Very cool and beautiful stuff with everything sounding like it's in its right place."

...transforming timbre, mood and perception. “Polbrone”, for example, rests peacefully in the green grass of tunnel for nearly three minutes before ceding the stage to two minutes of dramatic rhythms and one of tumbling breakdowns.
Especially effective is the back-to-back blast of “Leaf” and “Pollen”. “Leaf” is the album’s darkest track, a repeated glockenspiel melody backed by mandolin, bass, guitar and electronics, roughly similar to Jasper TX’s “They’ve Flown Away and Left Us Here” and “And When We Die, God Makes Angels of Us All”. Then “Pollen” pushes the glockenspiels to the extreme, layering them so that they sound like music boxes on Shutter Island. These tracks are evidence that the boys have a shadow side, and that moodier, more atonal albums may lurk in their future.
I would have preferred that the disc have a stronger closing piece: perhaps something quiet to tidy things up, or something slightly abstract to mirror the opening selection. “The Dance of Death” is certainly a good name for an album’s epilogue, but the track fails to provide a sense of closure. Perhaps the brothers were concentrating more on creating individual tracks than on creating a story with a distinct beginning, middle and end; or perhaps they simply meant the album to be open-ended. Either way, there’s something missing; after a great meal, we want dessert! And yet overall, this is an extremely strong debut: evidence that the road less traveled can make all the difference.
hey there, there is a review of "the creative listener" on the silent ballett website:
Score: 8/10 If a recording act – in this case, two brothers from Glasgow – are willing to be creative performers, is it too much to ask that their audience be creative listeners? I took Clorinde's debut album on a tour of my listening equipment: the Mac at work, the PC at home, the CD player in my living room; then transferred the disc to cassette and listened to it while driving back and forth to the beach in my very old automobile. My conclusion: the disc sounds best on the home stereo. The album is so full of nuance: static crackle, echo, breath – and the mastering so crisp – that it belongs in a big room, blessed by rattle and hum. A quick perusal of the instruments reveals some familiar names (guitar, glockenspiel, drums), some less common (banjo, mandolin, ukulele) and some we really don’t get to hear all that often (concert zither, timpani, shamisen). In all, nearly two dozen instruments make an appearance; basically, the brothers played whatever they could get their hands on. The absence of orchestra and drones allows each sound to breathe, so that nothing sounds crowded; each track possesses an inner drive, a propulsive energy that pushes the listener forward like pebbles at high tide. Some selections use electronics; some offer a steady tempo; some border on the abstract. This variety keeps the listening experience fresh and interesting; we never know what the brothers are going to pull out of their toybox next. While all of the tracks are entertaining, a few stand out. Two of these, “Cecile” and “The Caves of Polbrone”, save their trump cards for the center: the entry of the bass guitar in the former and the onset of drums in the latter. When these instruments appear, they up the ante, transform
