Mountains

Mountains is the duo of Brendon Anderegg and Koen Holtkamp, school friends who began working together in the late 1990s as students at the Art Institute of Chicago and later settled in Brooklyn. Their music builds slowly from guitar, cello, organ, electric piano, synthesizers and modular electronics, with field recordings and acoustic sounds blended into long, gradually shifting drones. Anderegg studied painting and Holtkamp film and video before both moved toward sound.
