From 1997 to 1999, King Crimson "fraKctalised", or forked, into four successive experimental sub-groups, dubbed ProjeKct One, Two, Three and Four, with the aim of finding new directions and material. All of them included Robert Fripp on guitar and Trey Gunn on Warr guitar, alongside one of the band's drummers and, in ProjeKcts One and Four, Tony Levin on bass and Chapman Stick. The music was mostly improvised at first, but themes emerged which were then developed by further improvisation in successive iterations. Many of these ideas were then put towards the next King Crimson studio album, The ConstruKction of Light. This box set contains a live album from each of the four bands.[1]
