Discover Peter Knight’s Solo Projects and Albums
Perpetually curious, composer/trumpeter Peter Knight's practice thrives in the spaces between genres, categories, and cultures. His recent solo work extends the possibilities of his instrument with innovative approaches that interweave acoustic preparations, extended techniques with electroacoustic processing via laptop, vintage delays, tape machines, amplifiers, and pedals. Peter is interested in the use of repetition, rhythmic overlapping, slow harmonic evolution and subtle timbral evolutions to shift our perceptions of linear time.
Peter works with video artists including Amiel Courtin-Wilson and Scott Morrison to create immersive live environments for his music.
Peter’s latest solo album, For a Moment the Sky Knew My Name was released on ROOM40 in November 2025.

Peter Knight - trumpet, voice, electronics, synthesisers

SHADOW PHASE, is also out now on the ROOM40 label. It was included in Headphone Commute’s Best of 2022, which described it as, "a carefully curated exercise in reflective restraint, dreamy atmospherics, ebbing dynamics.”
