Water Knot (band)

Water Knot is an alternative rock group from London, United Kingdom formed in 2011. The band consists of Austin Sage (lead vocals, lead guitar), Ian Post (keyboards), Joshua Stevenson (Bass), and James Atkinson (Drums).

Water Knot have recorded a self-produced EP called Sometimes, which was released in 2013 digital only. The lead single "Lust", included on Sometimes, was featured in the action-thriller film Homefront by Sylvester Stallone in 2013.

History

Water Knot first started playing in 2011 in the New York neighborhood Williamsburg, Brooklyn, well known for being an influential hub for indie rock, hipster culture, and the local art community.

According to an interview by The Deli Magazine, the band was named "Water Knot" by its lead singer Austin after he had a dream where Bruce Lee was hitting a bucket full of water and the splash from the hit created a figure on the adjacent wall spelled "Water Knot.”

In 2012, the band gave their first concerts at the Bonnaroo Music Festival and at Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, Germany.American Songwriter said about Water Knot: "The New York quartet brought high energy to its set, which combined a Floydian space rock sound with eerie, ripping guitar solos" and "...I’m glad I stumbled upon Water Knot."

Knot

A knot is a method of fastening or securing linear material such as rope by tying or interweaving. It may consist of a length of one or several segments of rope, string, webbing, twine, strap, or even chain interwoven such that the line can bind to itself or to some other object (the "load"). Knots have been the subject of interest for their ancient origins, their common uses, and the area of mathematics known as knot theory.

Use

There is a large variety of knots, each with properties that make it suitable for a range of tasks. Some knots are used to attach the rope (or other knotting material) to other objects such as another rope, cleat, ring, or stake. Some knots are used to bind or constrict objects. Decorative knots usually bind to themselves to produce attractive patterns.

Teaching

While some people can look at diagrams or photos and tie the illustrated knots, others learn best by watching how a knot is tied. Knot tying skills are often transmitted by sailors, scouts, climbers, cavers, arborists, rescue professionals, stagehands, fishermen, linemen and surgeons. The International Guild of Knot Tyers is an organisation dedicated to the Promotion of Knot tying.

Knot (papermaking)

Knots are unwanted, large, dark aggregates of wood fibres when making chemical pulp.

Knots are incompletely cooked wood chips coming out of the digester. Their origin is often dense parts of branches, such as compression wood or timber knots – hence the name. Knots can also stem from large/oversized wood chips due to insufficient impregnation with cooking liquors. The content of lignin is very high. In kraft pulping knots are typically 0.5–3.0 % of the digester throughput. The knots are screened from the pulp, because if left in the pulp they may damage washing equipment and consume large amounts of bleaching chemicals. They are normally sent back to the digester and re-cooked so that their fibres are not wasted.
