Pat Mastelotto & Markus Reuter – Face (36:24, CD, Tempus Fugit / SPV, 2017) Seit vielen Jahren werkeln King Crimsons SchlagzeugerPat Mastelotto sowie Gitarrist und Produzent Markus Reuter in diversen Formationen zusammen, unter anderem bei The Crimson ProjeKCt, Stick Men und Tuner. Auf dem aktuellen Album „Face“ firmieren sie nicht mehr unter einem Projektnamen, sondern benutzen die eigene Nomenklatur. Das mag damit zusammenhängen, dass sie für die Fertigstellung von „Face“ knapp zehn(!) Jahre benötigten bzw. für den mehr als 36-minütigen Mammut-Track eine Plattform wählen wollten, die keinen direkten Bezug zu bisherigen Kooperationen herstellt. Obwohl das mit einem surrealen Artwork vonAdam Jones (Tool) präsentierte Werk eine sehr eigenständige musikalische Reise repräsentiert, scheinen doch immer wieder jene leicht crimsonesken, elektronischen Trademarks durch, die man von den Beiden kennt. Dass Mastelotto und Reuter damit beim deutschen Label Tempus Fugit gelandet sind, überrascht zunächst, denn deren Mischung aus Elektronik, Avantgarde und Art- bzw. Progressive Rock passt nicht unbedingt zum bisherigen Beuteschema des kleinen, aber feinen Labels. Auf den zweiten Blick ergibt die Veröffentlichung dort jedoch Sinn, denn Tempus Fugit setzt seit jeher auf Qualität, und die ist bei dem amerikanischen- deutschen Duo deutlich erkennbar. Außer den beiden Hauptakteuren brachten sich namhafte Gäste wie Steven Wilson und Danny Wilde (The Rembrandts) ein, die sich dem Gesamtkontext wohltuend unauffällig unterordnen. „Face“ wirkt wie ein Kaleidoskop – eine Rundsicht aus großen Höhen, die verschiedenste Grooves und merkwürdige, aber niemals überfordernde Rockmusik sperriger Art vereint. Das Ganze klingt anders und sehr interessant. Bewertung: 11/15 Punkten (JM 11, KR 11, KS 11) Surftipps zu Pat Mastelotto und Markus Reuter: Facebook Bandcamp Pat Mastelotto Markus Reuter Abbildungen: Pat Mastelotto & Markus Reuter / Tempus Fugit.

STICK MEN - Tony Levin and Pat MasteloO, the Powerhouse Bass and Drums of the Group King Crimson for a Few Decades, Bring That TradiOn to All Their Playing
STICK MEN - Tony Levin and Pat Masteloo, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for a few decades, bring that tradion to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Sck, from which the band takes it’s name. Having bass and guitar strings, the Chapman Sck funcons at mes like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his selfdesigned touch style guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Masteloo’s drumming encompasses not just the acousc kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion and more. TONY LEVIN - Born in Boston, Tony Levin started out in classical music, playing bass in the Rochester Philharmonic. Then moving into jazz and rock, he has had a notable career, recording and touring with John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Yes, Alice Cooper, Gary Burton, Buddy Rich and many more. He has also released 5 solo CDs and three books. In addion to touring with Sck Men, since more than 30 years is currently a member of King Crimson and Peter Gabriel Band, and jazz bands Levin Brothers and L’Image. His popular website, tonylevin.com, featured one of the web’s ﬁrst blogs, and has over 4 million visits. PAT MASTELOTTO - Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it, so too has Pat Masteloo, a self taught drummer from Northern California, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming.

Miller High Life Theatre Event Advisory
ADDRESS PHONE NUMBER WEBSITE 500 W. Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53203 414.908.6000 MillerHighLifeTheatre.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sarah Maio [email protected] 414-908-6056 King Crimson Announce “Music Is Our Friend” North American Tour Dates 2021 King Crimson comes to the Miller High Life Theatre on August 31, 2021 MILWAUKEE – (June 7, 2021) – The Miller High Life Theatre and Alternative Concert Group are proud to welcome King Crimson with special guest The Zappa Band to the Miller High Life Theatre, August 31, 2021. Artist VIP presale is June 9 at 11 a.m., and venue presale is June 10th at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, June 11 at noon at the Miller High Life Theatre box office or Ticketmaster. When King Crimson returns to action this July, it will be the seventh year that the band has toured since returning to performing live in 2014, a run only interrupted by the lockdown in 2020. In that time, the audience has been reinvented, as much as the band itself, something Robert Fripp noted after the band’s performance in Pompeii, Italy’s famous amphitheater: “In Pompeii, a large percentage of the audience was young couples; KC moved into the mainstream in Italy. I walked onstage knowing that this band's position in the world has changed level.” - Robert Fripp The band’s shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many songs from their seminal 1969 album In the Court of the Crimson King, described by Pete Townshend as an “uncanny masterpiece.” The 7-piece line-up play many historic pieces, which Crimson has never previously played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics – “the music is new whenever it was written.” There are also new instrumentals and songs, as well as compositions by the three drummers, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy Stacey, which are a regular highlight.

To Whom It May Concern: I Am Happy to Recommend Matte Henderson to You
"To Whom It May Concern: I am happy to recommend Matte Henderson to you. He is hard working, committed and has integrity." -- Robert Fripp That quote from a recommendation letter from the King Crimson founder kicked off what has been an extraordinary 28-year career for guitarist, composer, high end guitar designer and raconteur Matte Henderson. The former Fripp student has recorded or performed with an incredible diversity of artists including John Medeski, Mick Karn, David Torn, Bill Dixon, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Trey Gunn, Henry Kaiser, Rodney Holmes, Screaming Headless Torsos, and Natalie Merchant. Henderson is also intriguing for the bands he chose not to be a part of, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Brand X. But those are stories for another time, and of course, interviews, should this pique your curiosity, dear media type. Rather, we are gathered here today to celebrate the release of Henderson's first album, The Veneer of Logic, a collaborative effort with drummer Marco Minnemann, known for his work with Joe Satriani and Steven Wilson. Bad Brains co-founder/guitarist Doctor Know calls the album the world's first "muttcore" release, meaning it explores the universes of post-rock, industrial, metal, and ambient with equal aplomb. Now, we assure you Henderson is an upstanding citizen, but we must inform you that while this is mostly an instrumental record, there are vocals. And those vocals were almost entirely derived from voicemails, surreptitiously recorded conversations, and prison parole hearings. When was the last time you heard a record with prison parole hearings? Right.

King Crimson – Live in Chicago
King Crimson – Live in Chicago (73:42 + 79:51, 2 CDs, Discipline Global Mobile, 2017) Über zu wenig Material von King Crimson braucht man sich in letzter Zeit nun wirklich zu beklagen. Gerade wurde u.a. die 21(!) CDs umfassende „Sailor’s Tale“ betitelte Rückschau der Jahre 1970-72 unters Volk gebracht, während die aktuelle Inkarnation der Band erneut auf Tour geht. „Live In Chicago“ stammt aus dem Sommer dieses Jahres und man fragt sich dennoch unweigerlich: ein weiteres Livealbum von King Crimson, ist das nun wirklich nötig? Einmal mehr lautet die klare Antwort ‚Ja‘, auch wenn sicherlich dieses Werk letztendlich vor allem die Die-Hard-Fans der Band begeistern wird. Seit 2015 erschienen bereits diverse Liveveröffentlichungen der Band um Robert Fripp (2015: „Live At The Orpheum“, 2016: „Live In Toronto“ und „Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of The Monkey Mind“, 2017: „Heroes EP“ und der Japan Import „Live In Vienna“), so dass „Live In Chicago“ eine weitere Fortsetzung der aktuellen Reinkarnation mit drei(!) Schlagzeugern bedeutet. In der Besetzung Robert Fripp (Gitarre, Keyboards), Mel Collins (Saxophon, Flöte), Gavin Harrison (Schlagzeug), Jakko Jakszyk (Gitarre, Flöte, Gesang), Tony Levin (Bass, Stick, Gesang), Pat Mastelotto (Schlagzeug), Bill Rieflin (Keyboards), Jeremy Stacey (Schlagzeug, Keyboards) entstand dieser Mitschnitt auf letzten US Tour. Gerade im Vergleich mit den anderen Aufzeichnungen der letzten Jahre fällt auf, dass man sich zwar vermehrt mit den Klassikern der 70er Jahre auseinandersetzt, aber neben gewissen Songkonstanten in der Setlist wie z.B. ‚Starless‘, ’21st Century Schizoid Man‘, ‚Easy Money‘, ‚Lark’s Tongues In Aspic I‘ oder ‚Pictures Of A City‘ umspannt jeder Livemitschnitt eine anregende Variation der Setlist, mit einer Mischung aus frühen Songperlen, wie auch komplett neuem bzw.

Of Virtual Spatiality: Surround Sound Mixing in King Crimson's Back

Toivo Burlin: The creation (and re-creation) of virtual spatiality: Surround sound mixing in King Crimson’s back catalog box sets Abstract: The article analyzes surround mixing of King Crimson’s analog recordings. “Lizard,” “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic (Part 1),” “The Night Watch,” “Trio,” and “One Time” are analyzed using the theoretical perspec- tives of the music recording as representation and spatial design. There is a difference between live and studio recordings in surround: live recordings tend to be mixed according to the direct/ambient principle, while studio re- cordings are mixed according to the principle of direct-sound all around. Live recordings in surround can also often be understood as examples of documentarism, and studio recordings as examples of hyper realism. The spatial design of the surround mix tends to emphasize aspects of spatiality in the broad sense: where the recording can, for example, be interpreted as a landscape in sound. Introduction This essay discusses some tendencies in the emerging conventions in con- temporary surround mixing of popular music.

The Crimson Projekct
VENERDì 7 MARZO 2014 Un evento da non perdere per gli amanti del progressive rock: i CRIMSON PROJEKCT in concerto a Roma, nell'ambito del loro tour europeo che da metà marzo 2014 toccherà anche l'Italia. The Crimson Projekct L'opportunità di riascoltare i King Crimson versione "live" diventa realtà Per la prima volta in concerto a Roma il 1 aprile, con The Crimson ProjeKCt. Il supergruppo, che si esibirà il 1 aprile Parco della Musica all'Auditorium Parco della Musica, "Sala Sinopoli", vede al suo interno i tre membri della storica formazione (la line-up di double trio): il chitarrista Adrian Belew, il bassista Tony Levin e Pat Mastelotto, batterista insieme, per l'occasione, a tre musicisti di prim'ordine: Markus LA REDAZIONE Reuter alla touch guitar, il batterista Tobias Ralph e Julie Slick, al basso, con i quali eseguiranno anche il meglio di "In The Court of The Crimson King" e "Red", album di riferimento per tutti gli estimatori. Con i Crimson ProjeKCT, passato, presente e futuro del prog rock tornano ad echeggiare, con la "benedizione" dello storico leader, Robert Fripp: "Tony e io discutemmo la non facile questione di un nome che [email protected] sintetizzasse il concetto di base: Stick Men & Adrian Belew Power Trio SPETTACOLINEWS.IT che suonassero musica dei King Crimson. Lui proponeva ProjeKct Krimson e io, invece, The Crimson ProjeKCt" (dal diario di Robert Fripp, 14 aprile 2012). I King Crimson, fondamentali per l'evoluzione del rock contemporaneo, pubblicano nel 1969 il leggendario "In the Court of the Crimson King", 33 giri di esordio, dando il "la" (è proprio il caso di dirlo) ad un genere nuovo: quando ancora non esisteva il concetto di rock progressivo, loro ne sintetizzavano già l'essenza.

S Guide to King Crimson
The Mastelottos – A Romantic’s Guide To King Crimson (57:22, CD, Digital, 7d Media, 2021) King Crimson als romantische Überraschung zum Valentinstag? Mit einem gewissen Augenzwinkern bietet sich dafür „A Romantic’s Guide To King Crimson“ als ungewöhnliches Geschenk an, das genau am Valentinstag 2021 seinen offiziellen Veröffentlichungstermin hat. Hinter diesen unerwarteten Album steckt das Duo The Mastelottos, namentlich Deborah Mastelotto und ihr sicherlich wesentlich bekannterer Mann Pat Mastelotto, seines Zeichens seit den 90ern Schlagzeuger bei King Crimson. Aus dem Insiderwitz, dass es nie Schlangen vor den Frauentoiletten bei einem King-Crimson-Konzert gibt (Wieso Witz? Die Damen wollen halt nichts verpassen! Die Schlussred.), erwuchs die Idee, diese Musik in eine wesentlich weiblichere Richtung zu lenken. Die zwölf Songs greifen auf die gesamte Historie von King Crimson zurück, mit einem gewissen Schwerpunkt auf die 80er und 90er Jahre. So sind hier in erster Linie ruhigere, am ehesten erwartbare Titel aus der frühen Diskografie wie ‚Moonchild‘, ‚Book Of Saturday‘ oder ‚Exiles‘ vertreten, wie sich ebenfalls ‚One Time‘, ‚Heartbeat‘ oder ‚Matte Kudasai‘ als „romantische“ Varianten anbieten. Was jedoch die Interpretation der beiden Mastelottos von anderen Tribute- Alben unterscheidet, ist der Mut, das Material von den Arrangements und der Interpretation teilweise in eine völlig neue Richtung zu lenken und auch klangliche Modernisierungen zu verpassen. Ganz getreu der King-Crimson-Devise, jeden Song stets so anzugehen, als ob er komplett neu sei. A Romantic’s Guide To King Crimson by The Mastelottos Da werden zwar teils die schrägen Elemente und Kanten entfernt und es erklingt einiges wesentlich melodischer, sogar poppiger. Auch werden vor allem reichlich Ambient- und World- Music-Elemente unterfüttert.

Three-Below-EPK.Pdf
Three Below Michael Manring / Alonso Arreola / Trey Gunn In modern musical times no other instrument is less explored in a collaborative setting than the electric bass guitar. Enter Three Below. Multiply the musical possibilities by the power of three dynamic masters and these bass pioneers become serious game-changers in the field. Three Below is a collective evolution in sound, style and substance surrounding the electric bass. Anyone familiar with the name Trey Gunn knows his innovation in touch instrument technology. Throughout his twenty-year collaborations with guitar legend Robert Fripp and King Crimson, Gunn has become an uncompromising, relentless risk taker pushing the touch instruments to new heights. Michael Manring, a student of the late bass legend Jaco Pastorius and creator of the Hyperbass – with its unique altered tuning system – is another unparalleled pioneer of the electric bass. Rounding out this masterful trio is Mexican bass virtuoso Alonso Arreola, whose advanced percussive sensibilities solidify this perfect musical trifecta. Regardless of any preconceptions of bass guitar in a trio setting, when listening to Three Below the extraordinary possibilities emerge. Think Weather Report meets P-Funk with Crimson-esque exploratory rhythmic and melodic structures. Sprinkle in episodes of angst and a Rage Against The Machine attitude and you are beginning to get the picture. It’s highly percussive, yet without percussion. Within this unique collaborative framework, Three Below is guaranteed to surprise the sonic senses, strip away virtuosic preconceptions and pleasantly unveil the creative possibilities of the electric bass guitar. Arreola, Gunn and Manring closed with a sublime dish prepared by chefs of the highest musical caliber.

King Crimson – Live in Toronto
King Crimson – Live In Toronto (62:39 + 64:15, 2 CDs, Discipline Global Mobile, 2016) Eigentlich schien das Kapitel King Crimson bereits endgültig geschlossen. Nach der letzten längeren Tour im Jahr 2003 hatte Robert Fripp keine Lust mehr auf das stressige Tourleben, auch nervten ihn die damit verbunden Umstände immer mehr – Fotografen, die Auftritte mit Blitzlicht versauten, schlechte Bedingungen im Umfeld der Gigs, ständiges rastloses Unterwegssein -, wie er auch seit langen keine Interviews mehr geben wollte. 2008 folgten noch einige wenige Auftritte in den USA und das schien es dann endgültig mit King Crimson im Livesektor gewesen zu sein. Zum Trost für Fans hieltFripp dafür mit diversen, sehr aufwändig und hochwertig gestalteten Boxen das Interesse an der Band hoch. Überraschend fand der Mastermind ein paar Jahre später Gefallen an einer komplett neuen Reinkarnation seiner Band, verbunden mit einer noch viel überraschenden Reise weit in die Vergangenheit. Ende 2014 ging die Band in der auf den ersten Blick sehr eigenwilligen Besetzung mitRobert Fripp (Gitarre, Keyboards), Jakko Jakszyk (Gitarre, Gesang), Tony Levin (Bass, Stick), Mel Collins (Saxophon, Flöte) und den drei(!) Schlagzeugern Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison und Bill Rieflin wieder auf Tour durch die USA, England, Holland, Frankreich, Kanada und Japan. Die Reaktionen darauf waren begeistert, teils regelrecht enthusiastisch. Nachdem letztes Jahr mit dem Livealbum „Live At The Orpheum“ bereits ein rund 40-minütger, viel zu kurzer Ausschnitt jener Tour erschien, liegt mit „Live in Toronto“ jetzt endlich ein kompletter Konzertmitschnitt vor. Der Abend zuvor auf der gleichen Bühne und am gleichen Ort hatten unter keinem guten Stern gestanden, da wieder einmal Paparazzi trotz ausdrücklichen Fotografierverbots für ein Konzert ohne Zugabe und reichlich genervte Musiker sorgten – tags darauf aber lieferten King Crimson einen ihrer besten, wenn nicht sogar den besten Auftritt überhaupt in dieser Besetzung ab.

When there is nothing to be done, nothing is done: Crimson disappears. When there is music to be played, Crimson reappears. If all of life were this simple". Robert Fripp King Crimson was conceived in November 1968 and born on January 13th 1969 in the Fulham Palace Cafe, London (Fripp/Ian McDonald/Greg Lake/Michael Giles/Pete Sinfield), coming to prominence after supporting The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park. Their ground-breaking debut In The Court Of The Crimson King (1969) described by Pete Townshend as "an uncanny masterpiece", began a career that has spanned four decades and influenced many bands and individuals including Yes, Genesis, Tool, and Porcupine Tree. Despite the original line-up imploding after an American tour King Crimson continued to produce constantly challenging and intriguing music on albums such as In The Wake of Poseidon (1970), Lizard (1970), Islands (1971), Earthbound (1972), Larks' Tongues in Aspic (1973) and Red (1974).
