Not really King Crimson - it's Fripp, Gunn, Bruford & Levin, calling themselves "PROJECkT One". Not much looping, only Fripp himself with his current Soundscapes setup (four TC2290s, two Eventide H3000 UltraHarmonizers, Korg A3, Sound Sculpture SwitchBlade, et al). The music itself is extremely interesting, however - very weird, sometimes jazzy, sometimes funky, especially when Fripp cranks up the fretless bass preset on his VG-8, or a synth organ sound for comping. Levin's on Chapman Stick, and MusicMan StingRay, and NS Electric Upright, and Clavia Nord Lead synth, and Sony digital camera. Bruford is completely acoustic - no Simmons SDX, just lots of clattering thrakking noises, while Trey Gunn is on a planet of his own (Warr Guitar, Trace Elliot stack, and some effects box that scrolls the message "Bite Me, Bagel Boy" in between patch changes.) There's still two nights of this madness left - tonight (Wednesday) and Thursday. The Jazz Cafe is extremely close to the Camden Town "Tube" station, in the street called "Parkway". My ticket for Thursday may be going spare, so drop me a line by Thursday mid-day (GMT) if you're interested in going... there might be some more on sale (15 pounds) at the door, too. (Tuesday was half-empty). Music starts at 9PM, with Fripp doing very minimal Soundscapes (3-4 plucked notes an hour) on and off from before the doors open (7PM). If anybody knows the area, I'll be in the O'Neills Irish pub 2/3 the way down Camden High Street on the right, from about 7:00-8:30 tonight and tomorrow, wearing a beard, glasses, big blue coat and carrying a brown shoulder bag, drinking Guinness...
