Placement

Placement formed in 1997 as an offshoot of the ambient-dub group Net, to make a form of locational ambient music or 'landscape music'. They 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.
