Film
The sound and aesthetic of Cloud Tangle takes inspiration predominantly from film and soundtracks. Cinematic and emotionally stirring sounds are a consistent thread throughout the projects releases. From the outset, these releases have had a dependant relationship on their respective visuals, and early shows offered unique projections on stage. Regularly released free songs were uploaded to Soundcloud and Youtube with 8mm B&W archive footage videos around the formation of the project in 2014. This has lead to visual development and adjacent roles in the project such as scoring for short films, filming and editing music videos and curating live projected films for performances.
