Architeuthis Walks on Land is Amy Cimini and Katherine Young's improvised project. Cimini (viola) and Young (bassoon and accordion) explore the full expressive parameters of the duo form, working with the material and textural ranges of their instruments. Architeuthis's music spans from a slowly unfolding intimacy to a jagged, kinetic style. Both soloistic and often drone-oriented, the duo draw on their interests in contemporary classical music (which is how they first performed together more than six years ago), free music, and rock. Cimini and Young played together in the piratical folk-pop band The William Young and are part of the trio Civil War (with Adam Sonderberg) and the new music collective Till by Turning. They've worked with Fred Lonberg-Holm, Jessica Pavone, Jason Ajemian, Aram Shelton, Carol Genetti, and Anthony Braxton, among others.
