King Crimson

In August 2001, during the time of the live recording "Fripp Soundscape Intermission" at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, King Crimson was riding high on the wave of their studio album **"The ConstruKction of Light,"** which had been released earlier that same year. This album marked a bold return for the band, showcasing their signature progressive rock sound with a modern twist. It was innovative, merging complex rhythms and intricate musical layers, a true testament to the band’s evolution since their formation in the late 1960s. What’s particularly interesting is how this stage performance blended seamlessly with their recorded work, as the live set included tracks from the album, reflecting King Crimson's knack for pushing boundaries both in the studio and on stage. It's also worth noting that guitarist Robert Fripp's soundscapes served as a unique bridge within the concert, adding an atmospheric touch that kept the audience on their toes, blurring the lines between performance and auditory art.
