Largo

Slow Music Project
Los Angeles
11 May 2006

Slow Music's English guitarist noted "two differentish sets. Possibly the second was the strongest.[endtease] Perhaps any first set is, in part, a negotiation of the listening space?" Interestingly it seems as though the usual opening caution adopted in their previous gigs is set aside, as various members jump ship and go exploring. There's a surprising assertiveness and sureness of direction with the sci-fi sonorities that make up the ensemble's opening gambit. Melodic possibilities are opened up with an overt use of old-school synth-timbre in this performance, Fripp’s terse sustain-driven laser-beam lines and Pete Buck’s crooked jazz stylings. Mat Chamberlain operating at the foreground, moves the pulse across an undulating terrain with small adornments being made around him for much of the second set, whilst Fred Challenor confines himself largely to work with bow. “…a group is a dynamic organism - changing just one part can radically alter how things function and work together” observed Bill Rieflin, speaking about his approach to improvising. This is certainly the case throughout this particular gig. Tension is maintained via a series of interleaving sweeps and scurried interventions delivered in an almost confrontational manner, challenging the gaps and rests being left by other members of the ensemble.


Join the 1000 club today


1000 Club

The One Thousand Club is an exclusive Club for long-term King Crimson fans, who wish to support the continued work of this site, and value the ongoing work of the King Crimson archives. We hugely value the support of the 1,000 members, which does much to make the online archiving possible – and, with the redesigned site, have increased the benefits and interaction.

  • UP TO $750 FREE DOWNLOADS a year.

In practice, this is close to unlimited downloads – certainly enough to download everything that is added to the site in a year, and much more. Build yourself the authoritative King Crimson collection, and then advise others on the hidden gems you discover.

  • FREE STREAMING.

1,000 CLUB Members are now able to stream all the music on this site for free, with similar access to the DGMLive catalogue that is added to the Nugs.net site.

  • BI-MONTHLY ONLINE MEETINGS

Every two months, DGM will arrange an online meeting, where 1000 Club members can hear and see what is upcoming and cooking behind the scenes in DGM Soundworld. It is also your chance to make suggestions about what you want to see in the future.

  • WEEKDAY APHORISM CARDS

Every weekday, Monday to Friday, beginning on 1st February, 1000 Club members will receive an email featuring an “Aphorism of the Day”. Robert Fripp’s three sets of Aphorism cards have been hugely popular. An online version of those cards to inspire us each work day.

  • SPECIAL user profile

We have designed a special user logo for 1,000 Club-members, similar to the one for the core DGMLive team. With their special access to all the downloads on the site, we encourage 1,000 Club members to curate the site - sharing their knowledge and insights by placing reviews and comments and favourites.

  • 1000 CLUB PLAYLISTS

1000 Club members have a unique ability to make publicly available playlists on DGMLive. Everyone has different favourites, a chance to help new visitors and even die-hard fans to discover hidden gems lurking within the site.

  • Why is it called the 1,000 Club?

Because membership is strictly limited to exactly 1,000 members. Once it is full, there will be a waiting list and any new members can only join if someone chooses to leave.

  • Why the number 1,000?

The number is partly based on Kevin Kelly's notion of the "one thousand true fans" that support a band or artist. We reward those fans by offering them free downloads, as well as other goodies. In return, we ask them to use their enhanced position to review those downloads, help curate the site, and make recommendations to new users and the DGM archivists.

  • How do I join?

There is an annual subscription of $150 a year (varying slightly by territory for sales tax/VAT reasons). Places are available on a first-come first-served basis. For further details, or to be placed on the waiting list, please email alex@dgmlive.com.

  • IT'S YOUR CLUB.

'Where next' for the 1,000 Club is entirely up to the members. We are open to suggestions. Take the idea and run with it.
