Performance of Peter Knight's composition, The Plains, inspired by Gerald Murnane.
Performance by the Australian Art Orchestra with Julia Reidy at JazzFest Berlin November 1st 2019. Video by Arte TV.
The Plains draws inspiration from iconic Australian author, Gerald Murnane, who imagines an ‘interior’ Australian of sweeping imagined vistas in his book by the same name.
The Plains creates a series of musical mirages that form on an endless sonic horizon reflecting and reimagining the wide open spaces of the Australian landscape. It exists in the meeting points between acoustic and electronic approaches and draws together influences from jazz, contemporary classical, and minimalism to create a sound that is at once evocative, sensual, and challenging.
