Elephant Talk: Interviews - David Cross In Circus-Raves Incantation That title, according to Crimson s innovative young violinist, DavidCross, was just the beginning of the magic which Starless is still generating http://www.elephant-talk.com/intervws/cross.htm
Extractions: Submitted By: Francois Naud ( fnaud at mlink dot net Circus-Raves September 1974 article by Sheila Spaier KING CRIMSON'S EXPERIMENT WITH ROCK ALCHEMY - 'STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK' It was only in 1974 that the general public was made able to accept the fact that there was a new era of witchcraft and occult dawning on earth. Yet in the haunts of rock and roll weird practices have been going on for some time now. Black Sabbath comes to mind most immediately-possessions of dark visions and spiritual power. The Stooges, too, took on untempered physical force, while the Stones' Mick Jagger danced with the Devil. Even Uriah Heep blasted away with some demons and magicians, and the strange symbolism on LP covers from Led Zep to ELP are becoming as common as stop signs. Since astrology is a major topic of groupies, and things seem to happen magically in the world of rock and roll, it's a wonder that so few rock bands have dealt with the forces of darkness and occult with great seriousness. There's one group, though, that consistently, through personnel changes and moods, has continued to tap the sonic cosmos. "King Crimson was perhaps the first of the 'up-tight British pop bands'," the Crimson King Robert Fripp once jested to a Circus Magazine correspondent. But the music King Crimson produces is one of the most distilled potions of magic-in-sound available to listeners sitting on the edge of the Occult Era. Their latest LP, Starless and Bible Black (on Atlantic Records) is a revealing glimpse into Crimson's alchemical laboratory.

The three previous albums of this very talented musician and composer were self-released by Cross's own small company "Music Galore" LTD., but later on the second and third CDs were pressed by an obscure German prog-label "Inside Out" under license (maybe the first too?). So, up to now David Cross's creation has been unheard-of. But the fourth effort, licensed by a solid independent US label "Cleopatra",is released and distributed over the world for the first time. Some prog-oriented Japanese labels probably publishe Cross's works too. The first song Exiles was originally composed by Cross himself for King Crimson 's "Larks' tongues in aspic" (1973) album. Good thing there are new arrangements of instrumental parts, unlike the original. In his solo career Cross moves into traditional classic symphonic prog (though sometimes extremely heavy), and Exiles-2 is made in this direction, while the younger Cross loved very much avantgarde, psychedelic and even a bit jazzy sound. However, Wetton sings much the same the old version, making all vocal parts very Crimsonesque.

Extractions: While you have probably seen top-ten lists posted on rec.music.progressive and elsewhere this month. The Reels of Dreams Unrolled top-ten list is probably different in that it does not focus on new albums. The truth is that I simply don't buy new albums that much. It is not a conscious effort, it is just that there is still so much old stuff out there that interests me a lot more. So what's the point of the list? Or as Robert Fripp would ask, "What is its aim?" Well, it is three-fold. To alert my readers to some great old albums they may not have yet. (I bet almost everyone reading this will find at least one album here they do not yet have.) To satisfy my own ego in convincing myself people actually care what I think about prog rock. To make some sort of ripple on the often motionless HTML sea that is Reels of Dreams Unrolled. So, without further ado, here are my favorite albums of the year and a few words about each of them:

Extractions: EXILES This is the new album by King Crimson violinist David Cross. The album featuring many great legendary guest musicians such as Robert Fripp, Peter Hammill, Pete Sinfield and John Wetton. With that line-up you can't complain. All of them are among the best on their instrument. My favourite tracks on the album are "Exiles" (a new version of that classic King Crimson song), "Fast", "Tonk" and "Troppo". "Fast" is a superb instrumental song where the violin is duelling with the guitar. David Cross is a magnificent violin player and composer and he is giving the music that extra taste of something special. Many of the tracks are breathing King Crimson, which isn't that surprising with so many King Crimson members participating. Everybody knows what a good guitar player Robert Fripp are, but here you also got one hell of a guitar player in Paul Clark. He's got a very wild approach to his guitar and makes the music sparkling with life. This album is as good as many of the King Crimson albums. A must have for any fan of King Crimson, and a very good buy for all other true progressive rock fans out there. Recommended.

Extractions: 9. Abo * - Recorded live at Flöz Club, Berlin, October 1993 All King Crimson fans should know about David Cross , as he was once the violinist and keyboardist in the band in the early 70's. He played on many of the classic King Crimson albums such as "Lark's Tongue in Aspic", "Starless and Bible Black" and "Red" On this solo album from 1994 you can hear many reminiscences to King Crimson. David's electric violin is always in the forefront of the music without being dominating: swirling, floating and sometimes it hits you right in the face. Five tracks are studio recordings, and four are recorded live at Flöz Club, Berlin, October 1993.

Extractions: TUDOR - the pianist and interpreter Here is a list of known recordings in which David Tudor interprets and performs the music of other composers. He performs piano on many of them. Some of these are available through Electronic Music Foundation's CDeMUSIC KONTAKTE David Tudor, piano and percussion, and Christoph Caskel, percussion, playing Karlheinz Stockhausen's 'Kontakte'. A historically important performance. INDETERMINACY John Cage himself reads his stories at the rate of one per minute while David Tudor simultaneously and asynchronously performs the piano solo from the 'Concert for Piano and Orchestra' (1958). Tudor's great and Cage's stories are funny, touching, and intelligent. If you don't have this 2-CD set, you're missing an important part of life. MUSIC FOR MERCE CUNNINGHAM Here's an important moment in the early history of electronic performance: John Cage's 'Cartridge Music' (1960), for phonograph cartridges and amplified small objects, played by David Tudor, Michael Pugliese, and Takehisa Kosugi. This performance is gentle yet somehow "crunchy." Also 'Five Stone Wind' (1988) with Tudor, Pugliese and Kosugi playing amplified violin, bamboo flute, live electronics, tapes, and clay pots.

Extractions: As an American composer living in Europe, I am constantly confronted with the legacy of Morton Feldman. European composers and musicians consider Morton Feldman to be one of the most important figures in American music in the 20th Century. Ironically, his music is virtually unknown to many educated musicians in the United States. The original "Chasing Feldman" is for violin and piano. It was composed as a reaction to my experiences at the Internationalen Ferienkurse fuer Neue Musik in Darmstadt, Germany (International Summer Courses for New Music). The impact of Feldman's music has resulted in many young European composers imitating his style and ideas. In Darmstadt, there were endless concerts of meditative music that wondered aimlessly through time. Sometime during the 18th concert of slow quiet music, all I could think was "if I could only get my hands on Morton Feldman right now." "Chasing Feldman" is a tribute to Morton Feldman that sounds like my music, not his.
David Solomons' Music Site - The Duchess's Tune the irregular rhythm most attempts ended up with the dancer crosslegged with beautyat the piano and the other half followed the violinist s fingers intently http://www.dwsolo.com/duchess.htm
Extractions: (A Burlesque) The Duchess was one of the most beautiful boys in the University, with his flowing chestnut hair and his thin-lipped lascivious smile. He was called "the Duchess" because, though very camp, he did not have quite the regal regard of a regular royal queen, and also because one of his old boyfriends was a real duke, if you believe the stories they tell in the city's student pubs. This duke had presented him with an antique grand piano as a parting gift, before leaving our shores forever, under a purple haze, and disappearing somewhere in the region of Tibet, where he was last heard intoning with the best of the bassi profundi in a monastery there. This piano, then, crowded out the Duchess's less than spacious college room, but he could not bear to part with it: more because of its sentimental value than its musical beauty. He spent many an essay-weary hour tinkling aimlessly over its dusty keys, trying to think of something outrageous to write about Flaubert or Pirandello. One evening, however, his tinkling bore strange fruit: a short seven bar melody struck him as unusually attractive, in an angular, irregular way, and he played it over and over again before rushing to get a piece of paper and writing it down. He tried to harmonize it, but no harmony seemed to satisfy it. It swallowed up every attempt and begged for more, just as obsessive and dissatisfied as the Duchess himself... Nothing could complement either him or his tune and he found himself playing it louder and louder each evening throughout the term, getting more and more frustrated, despite complaints from the neighbours. Rumours of his eccentricity spread through the college until they reached the ears of a young blond violinist, who went to see this madman in his ivory-keyed tower, taking his violin with him.
