March 13, 2026

Of all the offshoots on the King Crimson family tree, this may probably be the weirdest. Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto make a beastly rhythm section as ever, exploring somewhere between Miles Davis electric funk and the extensive groov-a-thons of prime Can. In this one-of-a-kind outfit they are put through the sampling/processing wringer by alchemist Samuli ...

Lex Korten: Canopy

by Jerome Wilson
October 13, 2025

Lex Koeten's Canopy is a project of different musical styles swirled together in a dizzying stew.

A similar phenomenon occurs on the listening level with A Chain Of Moments: Suite in ...
