KNITTING BY TWILIGHT

Knitting by Twilight biography
KNITTING BY TWILIGHT is a progressive electronic band from the New England city of Providence. It was founded by John Orsi and Michael Watson in the spring of 1994 culminating in the self titled EP release in 1995. Orsi is a multi-instrumentalist and the primary composer that has been the only constant in the band throughout its existence. It was a lengthy time till the first album release but in 2008 "An Evening Out of Town" made its mark and was followed up with "Weathering" in 2012. It was released in an impressive six-panel package adorned with a full-size image of late 19th-century French artist Antoine Bouguereau's painting "Biblis".

Orsi has been involved over the years with other music projects such as INCANDESCENT SKY and HERD OF MERS, signed to his own label It's Twilight Time. The music of KNITTING BY TWILIGHT reflects the percussion skills of Orsi. He utilises a wide array of percussion instruments that create atmospheres from lulling gentle tranquil passages to ethereal dissonant textures. Orsi has a deft hand also on keyboards to generate evocative soundscapes. His music celebrates the emotional flux between weather and nature, that are used as metaphors for the trials and tribulations of life; from sparse musical minimalism to a cacophony of sound.

It is recommended for those who enjoy dreamy soundscapes, mood music or disquieting ambiance with an electronic edge, and for those who wish to explore the more experimental side of drumming, along the likes of Robert Fripp.
