Sawing, sputtering, gurgling and wailing, Architeuthis Walks on Land is every bit the displaced and terrifying cephalopod that the name suggests. Violist Amy Cimini and bassoonist Katherine Young have been performing together as Architeuthis Walks on Land since 2003. Their three albums evidence the duo’s particular ways of crafting their improvised materials into sophisticated structures to capture the compositional, timbral and expressive breadth of this uncommon coupling. Cimini and Young lunge and flutter through their materials with the intuition and energy of constant discovery. 

Natura Naturans and The Surveyors are available from Carrier Records. The self-titled debut album is available from SET projects.
