Perfect Cluster was founded in 2009 with the intention to play live electronic music and to experiment with synthesizers, unconventional guitar sounds, effected vocals and textural drumming. The band s sound and style is heavily influenced by Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Kraftwerk and Nine Inch Nails though retaining its own personality through the use of odd time signatures and extensive compositions, trying to blend catchy melodies with avant-gard like harmonies and song structures. The members of the band all have a strong individual musical background, and it is such difference that leads to Perfect Cluster s unique sound, a tight and contaminated crossover between rock and electronic. Riccardo Chiarucci, on vocals and electronics, owes his background to 90s grunge bands such as Pearl Jam and Nirvana along with plenty of house, techno and club music from the 2k scene. Luca Cecchi, on guitars, takes his musical inheritance from the great 70s rock bands, including Led Zeppelin and King Crimson. Sure enough he's the blues side of PC. Ian Da Preda, electronic drummer, vibist and synthesist, has payed his dues as a jazz vibraphonist, being this his current main activity, although he is also a music educator and, occasionally, a scorewriter. In his spare time he gets addicted to italian 50s-70s movies, and, most of all, their soundtracks.
