Adrian Belew Quotes

Adrian Belew — American Musician born on December 23, 1949,

Adrian Belew is an American musician, songwriter and record producer. A multi-instrumentalist primarily known as a guitarist and singer, Belew is noted for his unusual, impressionistic approach to guitar playing (which frequently involves sounds more akin to animals and machines than to standard instrumental tones). He is perhaps best known for his work as a guitarist and vocalist of the progressive rock group King Crimson from 1981 to 2009... (wikipedia)

My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort.

King Crimson is never easy; it's challenging. That's why I like it.

I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn't be able to sound like.

As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.
