PETER KNIGHT \u2013 FOR A MOMENT THE SKY KNEW MY NAME<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is almost impossible n\u00f3t to think of Jon Hassell<\/em> when you hear Peter Knight<\/a><\/strong><\/em> playing his trumpet. Like Hassel<\/em>, he seamlessly integrates jazz, world music, and experimental traditions. <\/p>\n

But Knight<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s<\/em> music does not paint images from the \u2018Fourth World\u2019, but is deeply rooted in Australia:
\u201cIt is the summer of 2024\/25 in Australia as the ideas for this album coalesce from a dozen different threads. I\u2019m camping with my family on Krowathunkooloong land in the south-east corner of the country. [\u2026] I am walking up the hill behind the Yeerung with my trumpet in my backpack. Stopping to play momentarily. Trying to find a space in which I can resonate the sounds I make with those around me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For A Moment The Sky Knew My Name<\/em><\/strong> opens with two relatively short pieces, followed by two longer tracks that take the time to develop at their own pace.
The 20-minute title track is perhaps the most \u2018experimental\u2019 in its use of digital deterioration and with the atmospheres contributed by Lawrence English<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Overall, there\u2019s a fascinating interplay between the soft whispering, almost human, voice of the trumpet embedded in otherworldly electronic soundscapes.<\/p>\n

Of course, the album deserves to be judged on its own merits and not just by comparison. Knight<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s <\/em>experience in many different ensembles, like the Australian Art Orchestra, and his compositions for theatre and sound installations can easily be judged on their own. But at the same time, I know many Jon Hassell fans out there probably won\u2019t know his name, but would love to hear this album. So I guess it can\u2019t hurt to explicitly mention the music\u2019s similarity. Don\u2019t miss out on this one!<\/p>\n

(Available on CD and digital).<\/p>\n
