First You Build a Cloud is a 2007 album by rock guitarist Andy Summers and classical guitarist Ben Verdery, on the Rare Recordings label. The album consists of 12 guitar duets, Verdery playing acoustic and Summers playing electric.

Origin

The two musicians got the idea to record an album together when classical composer Ingram Marshall approached them both to perform in a concerto for acoustic and electric guitar, Dark Florescence, and they offered to improvise for him to provide inspiration.[1]
