CV & Jab Klima
Klima is the third album byCV & JAB, the duo of ChristinaVantzou and John Also Bennett.An assertive step forward in the twoartists' investigations into melodicinterplay, acoustic processing andfield recordings, the full-lengthconjures the modus operandi ofarchaeologists searching forunheard soundscapes. Structuredas an itinerant mise-en-abyme,Klima summons worldwidesubmarine circuits and tropospherespopulated by sudden findings andprogressive re-encounters - hazydreams amalgamate with mosaicsof reality. Suggesting timeless wanderings inambient études and classicalminimalism, the album deploys as amirage, inducing listeners into acontemplative state throughmellifluous repetitions and offshoresci-fi inflections. The palpable depthof the recordings bestows eachtrack with a distinctive density andpresence: sounds and chordsmaterialize and dematerialise aslandscapes at which we gaze, halfasleepover a long journey.
