King Crimson
(2023)
In the Court of King Crimson
The Czech edition of Sid Smith’s book offers a detailed account of the story of King Crimson, the legendary band formed in London in 1968. While often associated with the progressive rock movement, their music experiments with several genres from jazz to heavy metal to electronic music.
Switch off the computer, grab a spray can, and let the rhythm of King Crimson's music guide you. This was the recipe for the expressive illustration — a visual record of one of the band's songs.
Some may recognize echoes of the band's ornamental logotype while others may capture the energy of its music through it.
