Welcome to our page! If you leave a comment we will always try to return the compliment - yes, that still means now in 2024! Placement are a band that make place or landscape themed music Members Dash Tall and Giles Jacobs typically combine found sounds, field recordings and an array of instruments both electronic and otherwise, with tape effects and improvised playing. Their albums are largely themed geographically to evoke a particular area or feature and the tracks can vary from large scale impressionistic pieces to more focused and intimate studies. Placement have issued six albums, plus there are five associated albums by Placement's Giles Jacobs "SEEDS" (2024) By Placement's Giles Jacobs Love: I've always shied away from this four letter word. Maybe it was the schmaltz of popular music, but I'd had enough of "moon in June" love songs before I was old enough to buy recordings - and I guess, it's taken me until now to get over it! Slow burning music about human love, but also the love of things, the love of ideas and my enduring love, of places. https://placement.bandcamp.com/album/seeds "WALK-IN DIORAMA" (2023) By Placement's Giles Jacobs Glimpsed melodic vignettes about the sensation - whether it be caused accidentally or by design, that the space around you feels somehow contrived. https://placement.bandcamp.com/album/walk-in-diorama "SCALE" (2023) By Placement’s Giles Jacobs ‘From a dog lying on its side, to 1 au.
