King Crimson

K: Edor T: 140 TS: 7/8 INST: ElectricGuitar, Mellotron, Bass, Drums, Sax, Organ/Synth Mood: Tense, angular, brooding, cerebral, dissonant, aggressive Structure: Through-composed / Sectional (Intro — Theme — Instrumental/Improvisation — Reprise/Outro) Summary: "King Crimson" evokes late-60s/70s progressive/art-rock: jagged, motif-driven compositions with frequent metric complexity and sudden dynamic shifts. Expect interlocking, sustained/frictional electric-guitar lines (Fripp-style), Mellotron/organ pads for orchestral color, a muscular bass foundation, precise, angular drumming with polyrhythms, and occasional sax or woodwind lead for brightness and abrasive timbres. Harmonically favor modal material (Dorian/Phrygian flavors), dissonant chord clusters and odd-interval riffs. Arrangement should be sectional and through-composed rather than pop verse-chorus, with recurring themes that are developed and contrasted by instrumental improvisation and abrupt textural changes.
