EnglishWhat Is peterknightmusic.com?
Updated
peterknightmusic.com is the official website of Peter Knight, a Melbourne-based composer, trumpeter and producer who creates music for film, theatre and live projects across genres, cultures and disciplines. Use it to explore his discography, read news about premieres and awards, and subscribe for updates. It is a portfolio and news site rather than a storefront — the available page evidence shows no pricing, purchase links or payment options.
Who the site is for
The site suits listeners, programmers, directors and collaborators who want to understand Knight's body of work before reaching out or booking. It is not a ticketing page or a shop; album and project entries are presented as a catalogue with context.

Press quotes as a quick orientation
The site collects reviews that describe the music's character. Downbeat calls the solos "like songlines, not paving superhighways"; The Saturday Paper describes "a sonic world of wonder, warmth, and possibility"; The Wire finds it "hard to categorise... hauntingly memorable"; Rhythms Magazine notes shades of Miles' electric outings, Jon Hassell's Fourth World Music and The Necks' slow burn, while saying TL;DR has "wedged its own unique sound palette into the mix." The New York City Jazz Record writes: "If trumpet is an element then Knight is an alchemist." These are useful if you want a sense of the sound before listening.

Newsletter signup
A subscribe block invites visitors to "sign up with your email address" for updates. Note that the page displays a placeholder message stating the form "needs a storage option" — so if the signup does not respond, that is a site configuration issue rather than something you did wrong.
How to use the site
- Start with the catalogue if you are new: pick one solo entry (TL;DR or For a Moment the Sky Knew My Name) and one collaboration (Hand to Earth or Crossed & Recrossed) to hear the range.
- Check the news section for current activity — recent film scoring, new albums and awards.
- Read the press quotes if you need a short description for programming notes or a pitch.
- Subscribe only if you want ongoing updates; the form's reliability depends on the site's storage setup as noted above.
Limits to keep in mind
The site is English-language (en-AU) and centred on Knight's own projects. It does not publish fees, booking terms or availability, and no pricing signals appear in the page evidence — so treat it as a starting point and direct enquiries through the site's contact channels if you need commercial details.
