‘Passepartout Duo Live’ showcases a multiyear journey of sound experimentations and a unique ecosystem of original musical instruments.
Carefully balancing acoustic and electronic sounds, the duo’s virtuosic performance of complex rhythms couples with a refined craft of simple melodic gestures, positioning the music close to Minimalism as much as popular music traditions.
It is a journey that covers much ground between lyrical depths and saturated noise, between crystalline medieval polyphonies and futuristic synthesized voices. The choregraphic interplay between the performers on stage, a dizzying dance of instrument-sharing and secret cues, becomes an essential ingredient of hypnotic charm.
Passepartout Duo (IT/US) looks for unprecedented ways of connecting through sound.
Their music combines a varied instrumentation ranging from analog synthesizers to processed percussion and found objects, often employing specific chamber music techniques to explore spatialized and psychoacoustic effects. The group, formed by Nicoletta Favari and Chris Salvito, has been on a nearly continuous world tour ever since they began collaborating in 2015, and their experiences traveling have heavily influenced their unconventional creative process.
In 2024 they teamed up with the Berlin-based company KOMA Elektronik to start producing their instrument called ‘Chromaplane’.
