Embark on a Musical Journey: The Topoľana & Knight Life Experience

——————————
Knight Life by Sam Knight: Sam's music knows no boundaries. Influenced by Afro-Cuban, classical, and choral music, Knight Life is an eclectic blend of all Sam’s favorite genres, wrapped in jazz and tied up with a bow. But 'Knight Life' doesn't stop at its unique blend of styles. The album is a reflection of profound realizations, an acceptance of life's nuances, and the awakening of one's deepest yearnings. Sam's music is a poetic exploration of the human experience, delving into themes of mortality, lost years, creativity, depression, and stress. Amidst these powerful themes, a thread of optimism shines through, illuminating a path towards a brighter and more grounded future. Moreover, witness the magic as 300 vocal tracks, recorded at home with just a duvet and a microphone, are seamlessly woven into the live performance, creating an unforgettable auditory spectacle.

Line up:
Sam Knight - Tenor/Soprano Sax, Voice
Giuseppe Pucciarelli - Guitar
Brandon Atwell - E. Bass, Upright Bass
Floyer Sydenham - Drums
Mária Reháková - Electronics, BVs, Flute
