"Masque" is a live album recorded in 1999 by ProjeKct Three, a side project of King Crimson. "Masque" was released as part of the 1999 box set "The ProjeKcts".

Overview

The original material was recorded live in March 1999 during a three-night tour at Antones in Austin, Texas, then edited by Pat Mastelotto for the album. (The same sessions provided material for the later "Live in Austin, TX" album.)

The liner notes suggest to play the album in shuffle mode in order to "continue the improvisation". (This technique had been used in 1998 by Gescom but only on MiniDisc, not CD.)
