Crossed & Recrossed
presents two works composed by
Peter Knight
and inspired by mappings of imagined places by iconic Australian novelist,
Gerald Murnane
and Italian master,
Italo Calvino
. Simultaneously celebrating and deconstructing the tropes of minimalism,
Crossed & Recrossed
creates a series of musical mirages that form on an endless sonic horizon, reflecting and reimagining the wide-open spaces described in Murnane's iconic novel,
The Plains
and the labyrinthine streets of Calvino's
Invisible Cities
. Peter Knight's work sets up a post-minimal logic that refracts and disintegrates as you listen. The instrumentation of the chamber jazz orchestra is expanded with the unexpected additions of turntables, a reel-to-reel tape machine and live laptop signal processing. The sounds of acoustic instruments and voices are interwoven with field recordings cut onto vinyl and are filtered and augmented as Knight plays with your perceptions of what is heard and what is imagined. Time folds into itself in a very Calvino-esque manner, leaving you with the trace residue of moments half remembered.
As Artistic Director of one of Australia's leading contemporary music ensembles, the Australian Art Orchestra (AAO), Peter Knight has emerged as a significant force in contemporary music, initiating commissions, collaborations and performances with a diverse range of artists including recently:
Anthony Braxton
,
Nicole Lizée
,
Amir ElSaffar
and
Alvin Lucier
. He has also performed his works with the Orchestra at major international festivals.
The Australian Art Orchestra was formed in 1994 and is Australia's leading contemporary music ensemble. It explores the meeting points between disciplines and cultures, and imagines new musical forms to reflect the energy and diversity of 21st century Australia.
Crossed & Recrossed
features an embarrassingly rich list of performers including:
Simon Barker
(drums),
Erkki Veltheim
(violin),
Joe Talia
(Revox tape machine),
Vanessa Tomlinson
(vibraphone),
Tilman Robinson
(electronics) and
Andrea Keller
(piano), to name just a few.

, Dubplates & Mastering Berlin. "Tip On" gatefold; includes download.
