CV & JAB is the duo of Christina Vantzou and John Also Bennett, two composers currently based between Brussels and Greece. Together the pair have released two full length collaborative albums as CV & JAB – 2018’s “Thoughts of a Dot As It Travels a Surface” (Shelter Press) and 2020’s “Landscape Architecture” (Editions Basilic), as well as a third self-titled album along with minimalist pianist Michael Harrison (2022, Seance Centre). The duo’s collaborative work is characterized by lucid, sometimes highly surreal soundscapes, utilizing synthesizers and experimental electronics, piano, flute, and field recordings. In March, the duo will present new material from a forthcoming album slated for release in mid 2023.
