Wonderful ambient sounds and great strong percussion here on this opening...

Very well written song and very well inspired from the subject matter in the description here, and cracking stuff very well enjoyed Giles my good friend...

@garbhanmyles: That's great of you G and you're right - it's me singing; There's more of it goes than you might suspect! So a vocal release or two might be forthcoming at some point..

love the abstract hard to decipher lyrics - Hiroshima mon amour or simply poetic dadaism, love it all the same

Something a bit different at the Placement page this Christmas. A song..
Originally written shortly after the London bombings and inspired by a turn on the London Eye, this was kept back only to be rediscovered recently and finished. 
Thanks to all who've visited this page this year and a peaceful and prosperous new year to you all..


Sunshine on metal falls
Over the House Of Lords
Becoming brighter with the day

We're floating over bombs
min-cabs and restaurants
becoming brighter with the day

See little spiders crawl
far away towards Whitehall
Sub-atomic people ebb and flow

Sun silver river creep
It's wicked slow and it's wicked deep
Sucking in the shadows, watch them go..




Floating Over Bombs (by Giles Jacobs)

E

寂寞に無機質が鳴く
人影はただの黒いシミか

真っ白い眼にひとつ映り込んだ
花束を持っている様にみえた

あれは　誰か
誰かに　みえた

無常には人影は無く
白い砂　ひとつ握りしめて

Placement make a form of locational music they call ''Landscape Music".&#13;
&#13;
The pair typically combine found sounds, field recordings and an array of instruments both electronic and otherwise, with tape effects, prepared systems and improvised playing. Their albums are largely themed geographically to evoke a particular area or feature and the tracks themselves can vary from large scale impressionistic pieces to more focused and intimate studies.&#13;
&#13;
Placement have issued six full length albums, plus two associated album &#13;
&#13;
'SCALE' (2023)
A new album by Placement’s Giles Jacobs
‘From a dog lying on its side, to 1 au. An album inspired by the discovery of an old photograph, this album explores our relationship with Scale from human size to the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
