Landscape Architecture by CV & JAB
a form that could be a few things. faces and butterflies and landscapes and thoughts. - Zin Taylor
CV & JAB (Christina Vantzou and John Also Bennett) follow up their debut album Thoughts of a Dot as it Travels a Surface (Shelter Press, 2018) with Landscape Architecture, a lucid and uncanny trip through shifting thought forms, terrains, and frameworks. Recorded over the course of three days during a residency in Brussels, Belgium during late 2018 and mixed at home in April 2020, the album makes use of elegant, idiosyncratic piano, drones, and porous electronics. The natural world, surreal and serene, springs forth on a contemplative tour through remote thought-gardens and conceptual collonades.
Mastered by Stephan Mathieu with visual artwork by Zin Taylor, Landscape Architecture is available digitally direct from the artist’s Bandcamp page, as well as via limited edition cassette tape.
