All the Gravitation of Silence, the new release from trumpeter Peter Knight, presents an alluring collection of original compositions and improvised meanderings that explore and celebrate melody with some of the finest players on the Melbourne scene.

Notably, the line-up assembled for All the Gravitation of Silence brings together the extraordinary talents of pianist, Colin Hopkins, and guitarist, Stephen Magnusson. The combination of these two highly original voices along with Knight, and rhythm section, Frank Di Sario (bass), and Tony Floyd (drums), has produced some startlingly beautiful results.

Peter Knight received national recognition in 2002 with the release of the Peter Knight Quartet’s debut album Between Two Moments and has since been widely recognised as one of Australia’s most creative and eclectic composer/performers. He has since toured nationally and internationally appearing at many major festivals. He has also released two other albums of his compositions with other line-ups including Way Out West, Footscray Station (2003) and 5+2 Brass Ensemble, Invisible Cities and Other Works (2005) and is widely recognised as one of Australia’s most creative and eclectic composer/performers.

 “With his luscious tone and plentiful supply of affecting melodic ideas, trumpet player Peter Knight is one of Melbourne's shining lights.”
