King Crimson - eine Band die ihre Zeit prägte - Xenopolias

Im milden Zwielicht eines verregneten Abends in London, als die nassen Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen im Schein der Straßenlaternen glitzerten, beginnt die Geschichte einer Band, deren Klanglandschaften und unkonventionellen Arrangements das Genre des Progressive Rock revolutionierten. Ein leises Gitarrenarpeggio erklang aus einer kleinen Bar in der Nähe des Fulham Palace, als Robert Fripp, ein ambitionierter Gitarrist mit visionären Ideen, und seine Weggefährten – bald darauf als King Crimson bekannt – ihre ersten Töne zusammentrugen. Die Atmosphäre war elektrisierend, als Musikliebhaber das Versprechen einer neuen musikalischen Ära spürten, in der Grenzen zwischen Rock, Jazz, Klassik und experimentellen Klängen verschwimmen sollten.

There are two ultimate fears, the annihilation of solitude and the annihilation of the crowd. We lose our identities if we are alone with no one to reflect us back on ourselves... or we lose our identities if we are in a mass of others; anonymous, corporate, overwhelmed by the babble.
-- Ian McDonald

Seperated By Space & Time

Several years ago I randomly discovered these two images, one a photo from 1973, the other a painting from around 2009. I was struck by the similarity of the two men separated by space + time!

The photograph of the young man leaning against a houseboat was taken by UK Photographer lan McDonald in Middlesbrough.

The painting is by Martha's Vineyard resident Heather Neill. Titled The Bogcutter it is a portrait of the artist's son!
