TLDR is a new quartet brought together by trumpeter/composer Peter Knight who was until
recently the artistic director of the Australian Art Orchestra (2013-23). Peter has developed an
international reputation as a innovator who is extending the possibilities of his instrument with
approaches that interweave acoustic preparations, extended techniques with electroacoustic
processing via laptop, vintage delays, tape machines, and pedals.
Influenced by Brian Eno, John Hassell, The Necks, and swathes of electronic music, TLDR
creates hypnotic, minimal, groove based music that is fresh and distinctive, and that spins these
influences into a sound that defies categorisation.
In 2025 TLDR's debut album will be released on the Australian label, Earshift Music,
accompanied by a national tour.
