Quinn Knight visited the Bent Notes studio to chat about his musical upbringing, developing musical career, and the debut album of his father’s TL;DR project.  The album is called Too Long;Didn’t Read – an album described by Quinn as music for the listener to interpret as they wish.

The 4-piece project was founded by Trumpeter Peter Knight, and includes Peter (Trumpet, Electronics, Live Signal Processing), his son Quinn Knight (Drums), Theo Carbo  (Guitar, Electronics) and Helen Svoboda (Double Bass, Voice).

Quinn noted that Peter set one rule only for the quartet – when introducing a new phrase it must be played at least ten times before the next change or next improvisation proceeds.

Hear Quinn talk about his starting drumming when very your and his view for his future, and the enthusiasm in his voice for his music and TL;DR.

TL;DR is released on the Earshift Music label and is being launced on tour through Mallacoota, Orbost, Bruny Island, Hobart, Thebarton (SA), Newtown (NSW), Port Kembla (NSW) and Seddon (Vic).  More information from peterknightmusic.com.
