I'm not really interested in music. Music is just a means of creating a magical state.

The concern of the musician is to play the music. It is there demanding to be given sound to.

So, you can set up an orchestra down this end of the railway station playing one particular area, and simultaneously at the other end something completely different going on. And in the middle they meet, or not, depending.

There are no mistakes, save one: the failure to learn from a mistake.

When a record company makes a mistake, the artist pays for it. When a manager makes a mistake, the artist pays for it. When the artist makes a mistake, the artist pays for it.

Expectation closes the door to what is happening in the moment.

Now, if King Crimson accepts responsibility for innovating its own tradition, you can't accept responsibility for the audience. And there is an enormous tangible weight of expectation, which comes from an audience attending a King Crimson concert.
