Keeling's Eye View Of Crimson

08 September 2016

Composer Andrew Keeling was at Aylesbury on Monday this week and shared his impressions of the concert. The question is this: is it King Crimson who play the music; or, is the music which plays King Crimson? As I listened to The ConstruKction of Light on Monday evening in their concert at the Waterside Theatre I had a momentary and brief glimpse of the music standing outside and apart from the players themselves.
