Knockout Knob is a musical playground, a place to try any musical idea that comes to mind.
Knockout Knob started in 2012 as a project to discover new musical concepts and creative technology. Since then the main focus was improvised electronic live music. The second
important element has been collaboration of any kind. No matter if producers, musicians, dancers or visual artists - collective creation has been the core of the matter. The majority of the performances and improv works back then are not documented. They had never intended to being more than they were - music made in the moment for the moment.
Then 2020 came and brought a lot of change.
Live music, jams and improv performances, everything Knockout Knob had been known for, became impossible from one day to the next.
A search for options started. For options to keep making music for others from a distance, which worked better than expected. And options to keep making music with others from a distance, which turned out to be much more difficult. It wouldn't be possible to be creative the old way for quite some time.
Suddenly there was time – lots of it. Time for everything there hadn't been time for before. Time for new experiments. But most of all time for an inventory that showed, that most of the ideas from jams and live sets, had already turned into songs. At this point, starting to revisit, master and release those tracks was a no-brainer.
