Ua ʻike ʻia ka hui Pelekane ʻo King Crimson i ke au o ka hānau ʻana o ka pōhaku holomua. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ma Lākana i ka makahiki 1969.
haku mele mua:
- ʻO Robert Fripp - kīkā, kīkā
- ʻO Greg Lake - kīkā bass, nā leo
- Ian McDonald - nā kī
- Michael Giles - ke kani.
Ma mua o ka hōʻike ʻana o King Crimson, ua pāʻani ʻo Robert Fripp i ka trio "The Brothers Gills and Fripp". Ua nānā ka poʻe mele i ke kani i hiki ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia e ka lehulehu.
Ua hele mai lākou me nā melodies catchy me ka manaʻolana maopopo o ka kūleʻa pāʻoihana. I ka makahiki 1968, ua hoʻokuʻu ka ʻekolu i ka disc Merry Madness. Ma hope o kēlā, haʻalele ka bassist Peter Gills i ka ʻoihana mele no kekahi manawa. ʻO kona kaikunāne, me Robert Fripp, ua hāpai i kahi papahana hou.
I Ianuali 1969, ua mālama ka hui i kā lākou hoʻomaʻamaʻa mua. A i ka lā 5 o Iulai, ua hoʻomaka ka hoʻomaka o ka hui hou ma ka Hyde Park kaulana. I ʻOkakopa, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo King Crimson i kā lākou album mua, In the Court of the Crimson King.
Ua lilo kēia moʻolelo i mea haku mele No. Ua hōʻike ʻo Robert Fripp ka mea hoʻokani pila o ka hui no ka manawa mua i kona hiki ke kāhāhā i ka lehulehu.
(Ka hana mua a ka bana)
Ua lilo ka album "At the Court of the Crimson King" i "swallow" mua a he wahi kuhikuhi no nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ke ʻano o ka pōhaku kiʻi a i ʻole ka symphonic rock. ʻO ka mea hoʻokalakupua ʻokoʻa ʻo Robert Fripp i lawe mai i nā mele pōhaku i kahi kokoke loa i nā mele kahiko.
Ua hoʻāʻo ka poʻe mele me nā pūlima manawa rhythmic paʻakikī. ʻAʻole hiki ke kapa ʻia ʻo "Crimson Kings", akā "Kings of Polyrhythm". Ma ko lakou mau kapuai, Yes, Genesis, ELP, etc. i hoomaka i ko lakou pii ana i ka Olympus mele.
ʻO ka King Crimson i ka makahiki 1969
ʻO kēlā me kēia haku o ka hui King Crimson piha i nā manaʻo kumu a me nā hoʻonohonoho i manaʻo ʻole ʻia. Ke nānā mau nei ʻo Fripp a me nā mea hoʻokani pila i nā leo hou a me nā ʻano mele. ʻAʻole i loaʻa i nā kānaka a pau ka ikaika a me ka noʻonoʻo e noho mau i loko o ka "cauldron of continuous experiment."
Ua loli mau ke ʻano o ka hui. ʻAʻole hiki i ka makahiki 1972 ua hana maikaʻi ʻo Fripp me ka mea hoʻokani bass ʻo John Wetton a me ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Bill Bruford. Me lākou, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kekahi o nā album hohonu loa o ka hui Red. Ua haki ka hui ma hope koke iho o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka album.
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona nui o ka hui King Crimson ʻo ka nele o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana ma ke kahua. ʻOiai ʻo ka poʻe hoʻokani mele Yes i hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou haku mele i ka hapalua hola, a ua hoʻokani ʻo Peter Gabriel i kahi hana keaka he 20 mau minuke, ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa ka hui King Crimson.
Ua koi ʻo Fripp i ka pololei mai nā mea hoʻokani pila. Ma nā ʻaha mele ua like lākou me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana. He leo paʻa loa ka hui a hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻenehana.
Ua hōʻoia hou ʻo Robert Fripp i kona hiki ke kāhāhā i ka lehulehu i ka makahiki 1981, ua hōʻike ʻo ia i ka haku mele hou o ka hui King Crimson. Ma waho aʻe o Fripp lāua ʻo Bruford (ka mea hoʻokani pahu), ʻo ia ka laina: Adrian Belew (ka mea hoʻokani pila, leo leo), Tony Levin (bassist). ʻO lāua ʻelua i kēia manawa he mau mele mana.
ʻO ka King Crimson i ka makahiki 1984
Ua hoʻokuʻu pū lāua i ka album Discipline, i lilo i hanana i ka honua mele. I loko o ka papahana hou o ka hui, ua kani nā kumu i ʻike ʻia. Ua hui pū ʻia lākou me nā ʻike kumu a me nā hoʻonohonoho kūʻokoʻa.
ʻO ia ka synthesis o ka pōhaku kahiko me ka jazz-rock a me nā mea ʻano o ka paʻakikī. I ka puka ʻana mai o ka poina, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo King Crimson i kekahi mau album a hoʻopau hou i ka makahiki 1985. ʻO kēia manawa no kahi kokoke i 10 mau makahiki.
I ka makahiki 1994, ua ala hou ʻia ka hui King Crimson ma ke ʻano he sextet a i kapa ʻia ʻo "double" trio:
- Robert Fripp (kikā);
- Bill Bruford (pahu);
- Adrian Belew (guitar, vocals)
- ʻO Tony Levin (kikā bass, kīkā lāʻau);
- Trey Gunn (Guitar Warr);
- Pat Mastelotto (percussion)
I loko o kēia haku mele, ua hoʻopaʻa ka hui i ʻekolu album, kahi i hōʻike hou ai i kona ʻano ʻokoʻa. Ua ola ʻo Fripp i kāna manaʻo hou. Ua hana ʻo ia i kahi kani kū hoʻokahi ma ka pālua ʻana i ke kani o nā mea kani like. ʻElua mau kīkā, ʻelua lāʻau i kani ma ke kahua a ma ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, hana ʻelua mau pahu pahu.
Ua hoʻokomo kēia mele i ka mea hoʻolohe i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo maoli, kahi i "noho ai kēlā me kēia mea kani i kona ola ponoʻī". Akā i ka manawa like, ʻaʻole i lilo ka haku mele i cacophony. He ʻano hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi a hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ia o ka hui King Crimson.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻekolu album ka pālua ʻekolu. Ua paʻi kēlā me kēia me kona paʻakikī a me ka paʻakikī o nā huaʻōlelo mele. I ka hoʻi ʻana i ke ʻano me ka mini-album VROOOM, i ka makahiki 1995 ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ke kani paʻakikī loa a me ka hoʻokani CD Track.
Ka manawa huakaʻi
I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, hele ka hui i ka huakaʻi. ʻO ka huakaʻi o ka haku mele ikaika loa o ka hui King Crimson he lanakila nui. Ua hōʻoia hou lākou ua hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopūʻiwa i ka lehulehu. I ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mana i hoʻōla hou ʻia, ua haki hou ka hui ma 1996.
Mai ka makahiki 1997, ua hana nā mea mele i kā lākou mau papahana ponoʻī. Hoʻokani ʻo Fripp, Gunn, Belew, a me Mastelotto i kēlā me kēia manawa i mua o ka lehulehu. Ma kēia haku mele, ua hana lākou i ka makahiki 2000. ʻO keʻano o ke mele e pili kokoke ana i ke kani o nā 1990s. I ka makahiki 2008 ua hele mai nā mea hoʻokani pila i Rusia.
Ua hana lākou ma ka "Creation of the World" festival ma Kazan, a laila ma ka hui Moscow "B1". Ua kono ʻo Fripp i ka violinist Eddie Jobson e hoʻokani. Mai ka makahiki 2007, ua hoʻohui ʻo King Crimson i kahi mea hoʻokani pahu hou, ʻo Gavin Harrison. Ma hope o nā ʻahamele, ua hoʻomaha iki ka hana a ka hui.
Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Robert Fripp i ke ola hou ʻana o ka hui ma 2013. I kēia manawa ua hana ʻo ia i ʻelua quartet, e hoʻolauna ana i ʻelua flutist i loko o ka hui. I kēia lā, hoʻokani ka hui ʻo King Crimson penei:
- ʻO Robert Fripp (kikā, kī kī);
- Mel Collins (ʻohe, saxophone);
- ʻO Tony Levin (kikā bass, lāʻau, pālua pahu);
- ʻO Pat Mastelotto (nā pahu uila, percussion);
- Gavin Harrison (pahu);
- ʻO Jacko Jackzik (ʻohe, kīkā, leo);
- ʻO Bill Rieflin (synthesizer, backing vocals);
- ʻO Jeremy Stacy (pahu, kīpē, nā leo hope)
ʻO King Crimson i kēia lā
Ke hoʻomau nei ka hui i ka mākaʻikaʻi holomua a alakaʻi i nā hoʻokolohua mele. Ma muli o ka makemake o ka poʻe mele a me ko lākou alakaʻi ʻo Robert Fripp e hana hou, hiki i kekahi ke noʻonoʻo i nā mea ʻē aʻe e kāhāhā ai kēia mau mea pena.
Make o King Crimson co-founder Ian McDonald
ʻO kekahi o nā mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka hui a me ka lālā o ka hui haole, ʻo Ian McDonald, ua make ma ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 76. ʻAʻole hōʻike nā ʻohana i ke kumu o ka make. Ua ʻike wale ʻia ʻo ia "make me ka maluhia i hoʻopuni ʻia e kona ʻohana ma kona home ma New York." E hoʻomanaʻo me King Crimson ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i ʻehā o nā LP kūʻai maikaʻi loa mai 1969 a i 1979.
