Residual by Peter Knight & Dung Nguyen

Residual features Peter Knight and Dung Nguyen who are both members of the acclaimed cross-cultural jazz ensemble Way Out West. In this project the pair develop unique approaches to combining Vietnamese and Western music elements in a contemporary setting employing innovative extended techniques applied to traditional Vietnamese instruments and trumpet along with spontaneous electroacoustic composition.

* “Falling into an utterly genre-less wormhole” (Cyclic Defrost).

*“…Peter Knight, not unlike Miles Davis, never fails to push the limits of his creativity” (Limelight).

* “The journey is pure and lasts only 40 minutes. But they are 40 minutes of finesse” (Jazzques, Belgium).

*“Residual is a collaboration in a far wider sense than simply being the work of two performers. The pair weaves an interesting counterpoint between East and West, human and inhuman, old and new” (Real Time).

Perpetually curious, composer/trumpeter Peter Knight's practice thrives in the spaces between
genres, categories, and cultures. His recent solo work extends the possibilities of his instrument with innovative approaches that interweave acoustic preparations, extended techniques with electroacoustic processing via laptop, vintage delays, tape machines, amplifiers, and pedals.
