Chanced upon an engrossing improvisation today featuring the brilliant percussionist Evelyn Glennie and remarkable guitarist Fred Frith (of Henry Cow fame - or rather lack of fame, I suppose.) I saw Ms Glennie playing live some years back in this Far Place and the on-line performance brought back memories of that, happily so.
For some reason this improv reminded me of the extended section from Crimson's Moonchild off the first album - probably the first completely improvised piece of music I ever listened to now I come to think of it. It took me years to get the point of what Fripp, Giles and MacDonald were up to, but I think I got there in the end.
