Product details
Crossed & Recrossed presents two works composed by Peter
Knight & inspired by mappings of imagined places by iconic
Australian novelist, Gerald Murnane & Italian master, Italo
Calvino.
Simultaneously celebrating & deconstructing the tropes of
minimalism, Crossed & Recrossed creates a series of musical
mirages that form on an endless sonic horizon, reflecting &
reimagining the wide open spaces described in Murnane's iconic
novel, The Plains & the labyrinthine streets of Calvino's
Invisible Cities.
"Peter Knight's work sets up a post-minimal logic that refracts &
disintegrates as we listen. The instrumentation of the chamber
jazz orchestra is expanded with the unexpected additions of
turntables, a reel-to-reel tape machine & live laptop signal
processing. The sounds of acoustic instruments & voices are
interwoven with field recordings cut onto vinyl & are filtered &
augmented as Knight plays with our perceptions of what we hear &
what we imagine we have heard. Time folds into itself in a very
Calvino-esque manner, leaving us with the trace residue of
moments half remembered."
