Am just about to start recording a solo project with engineer/sound artist, Myles Mumford. Trumpet and laptop processing... will post release news soon and samples on Myspace----------------------------------------- Live sampling and processing of micro sound worlds created using the trumpet - stretched and squashed with Ableton Live.
A new solo project from acclaimed Melbourne composer and trumpeter, Peter Knight. Peter began developing digital environments to extend his improvisatory practice during a recent composer’s residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada where the work was premiered. He has since performed solo at Melbourne venues including the Make It Up Club, and Mash Out. Peter’s solo work continues, albeit tangentially, his preoccupation with space, understatement, and long form structure and draws inspiration from diverse sources.
