La Voltine Blues, now Matt Knight: In 2000/2001 I started out casually jamming in Florence, Italy (Viale Alessandro Volta) with Seitaro Mine of the Japanese Dub/Reggae group Dogggy Style! The sessions usually consisted of improvised guitar playing and home recordings of just about anything that could be found, samples of which I later used my recordings.

Since Italy I've have recording at home in Ireland and Scotland mainly veering towards an experimental sound. I still try to keep the roots of my songs lined with field recording tracks I make and home made samples recorded from within the environment around me, trains and ice have been popular of late.

Irish multi instrumentalist and good friend David Walker is due to collaborate on some new songs and plans are in place to begin recording new material around summer 08.

Under the name of La Voltine Blues (now Matt Knight) I have a few albums and demos under my belt. Feel free to get in touch if you are interested in hearing any of them in full.

You know I can't smile without you I can't smile without you I can't laugh and I can't sleep I don't even talk to people I mean And I feel sad when you're sad I feel glad when you're glad But you must know what I'm going through I just can't smile without you You came along just like a song You brightened my day who'd believe you were part of a dream That only seems light years away and you know I can't smile without you I can't smile without you And you must know what I'm going through I just can't smile without you Some people say that happy this way That something it's hard to find Into the new leaving the old behind me And i feel sad when you're sad I feel glad when you're glad And you must know what i'm going through I just can't smile without you Into the new leaving the old behind me And I feel sad when you're sad I feel glad when you're glad And you must know what I'm going through I just can't smile without you
