  1. How did you<\/strong> start collaborating with the King Crimson?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In 1999 Robert Fripp phoned me asking if ‘I’d come and do something for Discipline Global Mobile. I accepted the invitation. I met Robert many years in 1971 at a King Crimson concert, initially writing to him in 1969 after hearing In the Court of the Crimson King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Which was your approach (from an orchestration perspective) to orchestrate Robert Fripp \u2019s guitar Soundscapes?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      I went with my instinct and training and the Holland Festival’s commission requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. How did you approach (from the composer’s perspective) your collaboration with David Cross?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        It was an instinctual connection, as well as ‘ear and listening’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Do you prefer working as an arranger or as a flautist\/guitarist?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Whatever one is asked to do at any one moment in time. It’s all project specificity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Would you find similarities between the music of King Crimson and classical music?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. There is an ongoing comparison between progressive rock music and classical music, which is your own opinion about this comparison?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Working both as classical, rock and improvising musician there are undoubted overlaps between styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              1. You have authored many books on the music of King Crimson, how did you get this idea and are there any other books in progress?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Robert Fripp asked me to write musical analyses. The Musical Guides were my own concept. Musical Guide to King Crimson’s Red is in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                1. \u201cOctober is Marigold\u201d is your latest collaboration with David Cross, which is the concept of the album?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Autumn\/October. The time the music was recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  1. Where and how did you record the album?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    In David Cross’ studio in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    1. What about your next plans on<\/strong> music?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      I’m currently writing a large-scale chamber piece, practising classical guitar and flute and researching two writing projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
