Subject: Crimson sheet music... and 35 notes

From: "J.P." <tronlord927@...>

Greetings Guys and Gals...
 
Here's something for you Crimson fans:
 
http://www.frakctured.ukf.net
 
... On the "Music Notation" page... you will find sheet music for the first 5 Crimson albums... most hand-written... possibly by Fripp himself. I remember that this was posted at Elephant Talk a few years ago... and promptly disappeared a few days later... so check it out NOW, while you can! Also on the same page is Crimson sheet music transcribed by someone else... including a transcription of "Starless". The sheet music is fairly complete... considering the fact that Crimson did so much improvisation in their songs... enjoy!
 
As for the 35 note question I posted a few days ago... thanks for the comments... I still believe that with the new 'Trons coming out... both analog and digital... increasing the keyboard to a full three octaves, is an improvement I'd love to see. I know... the master tapes only cover 35 notes... but I for one wouldn't mind if the bottom "G" sounds were "stretched" to cover "F#" and "F" below the bottom "G"... if we could get a full 3 octave keyboard out of it.
 
That's it... Thanks again...
 
J.P.
