Peter Knight & Australian Art Orchestra ~ Crossed & Recrossed
Music inspired by literature possesses an inherent depth, serving as the aural twin to prose: a pair of disciplines that each conjure visual images. In two side-long pieces, Peter Knight & Australian Art Orchestra tackle two poles of geography. “The Plains” describes
