David Cross has a new album out in May entitled Starless Starlight. The album is based upon the short melody composed by David Cross and Robert Fripp that emerged as one of the key themes of King Crimson’s Starless from the final ’70s studio album, Red.
The tune resurfaced in two improvisations performed and recorded by Fripp at Blueberry Hill, St Louis in 2006. These recordings and the theme itself were then transformed by David Cross (and co-producer Tony Lowe) into the album Starless Starlight.
There’s an album launch event taking place on May 26th at The Bedford, 77 Bedford Hill, Balham, London, £10 advance / £12 on the door which opens at 7.30 p.m.
Cross will be joined by Yumi Hara (The Artaud Beats), David Jackson (ex-Van der Graaf Generator) and Tony Lowe (Producer Guitarist) who will be performing new versions of music from this album and, in keeping with the spirit of this venture, will individually and collectively devise, compose and otherwise create original new interpretations of the Starless theme.
Starless Starlight is available for preorder here.
