TL;DR – Live at the Muddie

TL;DR is a new quartet brought together by trumpeter/composer Peter Knight – an East Gippslander who has gone on to gain an Australian and International reputation as a composer and performer and who was, until recently, the artistic director of the Australian Art Orchestra (2013-23). Peter has developed an international reputation as a composer, musician and innovator.

TL;DR creates hypnotic, minimal, groove-based music that is fresh and distinctive, and that spins these influences into a sound that defies categorisation.

TL;DR brings Peter Knight together some of the most influential younger musicians on the Melbourne scene. Bassist/vocalist, Helen Svoboda, who has built a large audience for her distinctive approach to double bass and voice, floats her melodic wordless soprano over deep grooves. Guitarist, Theo Carbo, who is highly regarded for his spare but driving approach to his instrument uses rhythmic repetition and textural variation to stunning effect, while brilliant 20 year old drummer Quinn Knight (who also happens to be Peter’s son), lays down shimmering cymbal washes and texturally rich beats that underpin the group’s sound.

TL;DR’s debut album will be released on the Australian label, Earshift Music accompanied by a national tour – July 2025. TL;DR Available on BANDCAMP.
