Wilson's Court In The Act
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Oct 24, 2012
My thanks to tboyd for the heads-up that Steven Wilson was at DGM HQ yesterday recording Mellotron parts for his forthcoming follow-up to last year’s Grace For Drowning album.
Writing on his Facebook page Steven observed "“ Today I was at Robert [Fripp]‘s place recording the mellotron parts for my new album on his original sixties MK2 mellotron, famously the one used on the debut King Crimson album. Playing a real mellotron is quite an exhausting physical experience, but it sounds amazing….” And this snap from Steven’s Twitter feed You can check out more about the making of the album by visiting Steven’s brand new website.

Noisey & Bible Black
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Oct 23, 2012
Artist Jonathan Spencer's video Noise contains a hat-tip of sorts to Tom Phillips via the inner sleeve of King Crimson's Starless And Bible Black. Jonathan says "It's a very short video (2 minutes 15 seconds) about
the nature of noise (both as a real phenomenon and as a metaphor for our
media saturated wired world), it relies heavily on chance and
serendipity. The project uses a number of compression algorithms for
aesthetic effect and skips from stereo to mono." You can take a look at the video (and several others by Spencer) here.
