Placement are a duo from England who make a form of locational ambient music they call 'Landscape Music'.
Their tracks can vary from very large scale impressionistic pieces to much more focused and intimate studies.The pair playing hardware synthesizers, sequencers and sound processors, plus tape machines, drum machines and digital recorders. They also use found-sounds, field recordings and other electric and non-electric instruments. The music is often pre-planned, but largely automatic, with the instruments and preparations usually playing together in real time.
