| You Wait For A Feature On Robert Fripp... |
 |
| :: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Jan 1, 2013 |
And then two come along together in the pages of Prog and Mojo magazines which both contain new interviews with Robert Fripp.
( thanks to Anthony V Hall for sending in this picture) Mojo offers an 8-page feature written by Mike Barnes and covers Fripp's time in Crimson as well as his various collaborations. Prog contains a one-page piece penned by Fripp himself which asks the question What Is King Crimson? This is followed by an 11-page feature written by yours truly and centered around an interview with Robert that focuses on the years from Court up to Larks' and the creative processes that were at work at the time. You can see some of the magazine spread over on the blog. This is followed by a 4-page appraisal of Giles, Giles & Fripp's Cheerful Insanity album by Lin Bensley, with commentary from Mike and Peter Giles.

The TransKcription Of Light
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., May 21, 2013
Ever wanted to see what the track The ConstruKction Of Light transcribed with all the parts written out and then put into a midi file? Gabriel Lucas Gitin Riccio did and set about spending time doing just that.
Trey Gunn linked to the video on his Facebook page commenting "King Crimson's "The ConstruKction of Light" fully transcribed (ALL parts) and re-realized via midi. Unfortunate choices for the drum sounds, and I haven't checked all the notes, but my immediate impression is: "Holy crap! This person really put in the work on this one."
He even has all the double-stops in my right hand part. That is not easy to hear from the recording. And, even I had to put in a ton of work to get my hands back into it for each subsequent tour."
You can see the whole thing here.
