Music has its own intelligence, but can music change the world? If so, how?
How does music come into our lives?
How does a musician become present in the place within themselves, where music lives and visits?
If music is to enter our world, the role of the audience is as necessary as the role of the musician. How is an audient present within themself when music flies by?
What is involved in the process of musical performance?
Guitar Craft and The Guitar Circle take a practical approach to these questions. In addition to guitarists, we also invite those who have an interest in Music and whose musical instrument is their ears, to engage with the techniques and approaches available to Crafty Guitarists.

2 days agoParticularly the period with Bill Bruford and John Wetton (which is when I was lucky enough to see them, at Kennedy Center in Washington, DC) has some of the most amazing rock music I’ve ever heard, both in terms of percussion - the most peculiar mix of powerful and delicate - and that incredible seamless legato guitar playing in songs like Starless. I realize it was a difficult band to be in - it was said of Bill Bruford when he left Yes to join King Crimson that it was the equivalent of climbing the Berlin Wall going Into East Germany.
So can someone who knows KC through all the years say what exactly was all the stuff in West Virginia about ? Or am I getting side bands / projects confused ? I have vague memories of some really creatively intense things going on there and KC was in the center of it all.
