"Starless" King Crimson-13/4 time signature Bass Part

[@ZombeDancr]

one of the best basslines written imo

[@МуродТанжихолов]

And the ever growing guitar one note plucking that accompanies it... Amazing decisions by KC

[@ewetoo]

Thanks, the timing of the 4/4 parts was driving me nuts :D

[@nectarinedreams7208]

4+4+4+1

[@Trombinha_jooj]

Half note tressilo, doted8th 16th note swing, and then inverted quarter note tressilo.
Incredibly simple and coherent ❤

[@marcusjohnson488]

This is so good. What an amazing band

[@The.One.True.B]

I never realized how similar this is to one of the basslines in Bitches Brew until now that it’s done with a standup bass tone. Interesting. I wonder if that was intentional because Fripp was a big Miles Davis fan in the early 70s, the Islands lineup was really pulling a lot from that influence.

13/4!!!

I figured out this bass line by ear in college and never realized it had such an odd signature. Granted, I didn’t know ANYTHING about time sigs at all. 😂

[@Mikino1976]

John Wetton saved King Crimson!

[@Bjrosiy]

Saved king crimson from what, they were never failing

[@rc4a0frios]

John Wetton was a key part of KC, but was Bill Bruford the one who came with this part.

[@francescadesantis2233]

quite flat, to me
