SIMON KNIGHTON

Composer and Sound Artist

“Feels like you're being led through vast multi-dimensional spaces” Verity Sharp, BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction

“Distinctive instrumental and electronic soundworlds, characterised by resonance, grit, emergence, and immersion, draws the listener in. While some indeterminate or semi-improvised works can lose their way, here the evolution of the sound materials is beautifully paced and logical”, Royal Music Association

“We can't stop listening to @knightonsimon's phenomenal record… A completely unique album that challenges traditional notions of music and performance… conjures gorgeous and endlessly fascinating sound palettes that feel simultaneously vigorous and transparent of his creative process”, PRXLUDES Magazine
