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.
