	Robert Fripp
		Robert Fripp (born in 1946 in Dorset, England) is a guitarist, perhaps best known for his founding role in the band King Crimson.
		Fripp's earliest professional work began in 1967, when he auditioned for a band being formed by bassist Peter Giles[?] and drummer Michael Giles[?].
		Fripp spent some time away from the music industry in the late 1970s, during which he cultivated an interest in the teachings of Gurdjieff (studies which would later be influential in his work with Guitar Craft[?]).

		It was with reluctance that Robert Fripp re-entered the music industry in 1977, coaxed out by friend Peter Gabriel to participate in the recording of Peter's first solo record.
		It was during this time period that Fripp began a series of performances as a "small, mobile, intelligent unit", utilizing a system introduced to him by collaborator Brian Eno that involved a guitar fed through a tape-feedback system.
		Fripp dubbed his technique in using this system Frippertronics, later to be re-named Soundscaping in the 90's when the process was translated into the digital realm.

		Robert Fripp resurrected King Crimson from it’s ashes in 1974 with a completely new line-up which included drummer Bill Bruford from Yes and bassist John Wetton from Uriah Heep to record, along with other eventual members, the albums “Lark’s Tongues in Aspic” (1973), “Starless and Bible Black” (1974) and “Red”; (1974).
		Robert Fripp’s idea of the self-discipline and the convention, under John Bennett’s influence, that small independent, mobile, and intelligent units can self-develop and then communicate each other to create an evolutive net were later discussed by philosophers, sociologists and scientists in the forthcoming years, and it was the focus of Robert Fripp’s later activities.
		On 16th May, 1986 Robert Fripp married the singer and actress Toyah Willcox, who was one a significant artists from the British punk and new wave scene and got popular for her acting roll in the movie “Quadrophenia” (1979).

		Fripp seems to be one of those artists who is too damned serious for his own good.
		Fripp's best independent effort is probably "Exposure", although in many ways it is atypical of the body of his recordings.
		Fripp's deft touch with arrangement is apparent in the dynamic range of instrumentation.

	Robert Fripp - Chapter 8
		Fripp was drawn to this center of activity as a hunk of red iron ore to a magnet.
		Fripp's best subject in school was English, and over the years he had given himself a writer's education by reading voraciously, particularly in the areas of philosophy and religion, social science and psychology, and economics.
		Fripp is thus not an overtly political musician - one writer has descried him as "radically apolitical" -in the sense of sloganeering for this or that political cause (except as he did develop a set of slogans for dealing with the "political" arena he knew best - the music industry).

		On no other Robert Fripp album is this method displayed at its fullest potential (his collaboration with Brian Eno "No Pussyfooting" comes close though).
		Robert Fripp would later expand on his Frippertronic ideas with Soundscapes using the same looping principles but utilizing MIDI-technology, digital delays and guitar-synthesizers instead of analog tape machines.

		One of Fripp's most common sayings is "expectation is a prison," and I slagged Radiophonics largely because I'd wanted it to be something different.
		In this respect, Robert Fripp still deserves (after 30 years) to be considered a progressive guitarist, long after his peers have settled into rehashing their old chops, if not retiring outright.
		Robert is learning the 'phonics' of the Soundscape language as he goes along, experimenting with noises and sounds without much direction.

		Robert Fripp Unplugged represents for me the first opportunity in twenty years to revisit this experience and I am pleased to see that Robert never turned his back on the light which shines on him.
		I saw Robert play with King Crimson, and on his own, on a number of occasions; sometimes, when he was left alone up there, fiddling with his wall of Tech he seemed fragile, even brittle.

		After several years focusing on King Crimson and related activities, Robert Fripp returned his focus to soundscapes-- the result is 2005 was quite a rennaissance for Fripp's ambient work, seeing the release of his first collaboration with Brian Eno in thirty years ("The Equatorial Stars") and his first solo soundscapes record in seven years.
		Fripp improvises his soundscapes, and as a result, they tend to be far be extremely expressive and emotive.
		Robert Fripp's solo ambient 'soundscapes' are an aquired taste for many, but for those willing to place expectations aside and let music wash over them for a hour may find LOVE CANNOT BEAR to be an emotional experience.

	Amplifier Magazine: ROBERT FRIPP (CD) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This was (and still is) a milestone work that found the music biz-hating artist working in a number of different styles that nonetheless cohered brilliantly on a concept album that rivals the best of Crimson and Pink Floyd.
		Fripp had absorbed a lot of punk-new wave influences while in NYC—his gradual return to the business found him playing with Talking Heads and Blondie among others--and his attempts to draw from the genre hold up much better than those by the likes of Chicago and Yes.
		For fanatics who love their compare and contrast studies, Fripp has included both the original vinyl version (making its debut on CD) and a second disc containing the 1985 remixed edition with several restored Daryl Hall vocal tracks and a handful of alternate takes.

	Robert Fripp’s Vista sounds are here
		Ever since it was announced that King Crimson prog-rocker Robert Fripp had been drafted to provide a new take on Windows sounds, the aural affair has been an interesting sideshow to the Vista story.
		Users reacted with horror when the idea was floated that sounds could be hardwired and many asked for an end to the shock of leaving speakers on high-volume at night only for the startup notes to deliver a nasty shock first thing in the morning.
		Maybe Fripp is feeling bad for all the 20-minute epics he and his peers put us through in the Seventies.

		Robert Fripp (born May 16, 1946 in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England) is a guitarist, record producer and a composer, perhaps best known for being the guitarist for, and only constant member of, King Crimson.
		In 1977, Fripp received a phone call from Eno, who was working on David Bowie's album "Heroes".
		Similar to his previous guesting on David Bowie's Scary Monsters (1980, which also boasted Pete Townshend in several background roles), the "skysaw" guitar style which characterized this period of Fripp's pedagogy is featured alongside the sisters' songs and harmony.

		Robert Fripp's second team up with Brian Eno was a less harsh, more varied affair, closer to Eno's then-developing idea of ambient music than what had come before in No Pussyfooting.
		The method used, once again, was the endless decaying tape loop system of Frippertronics but refined with pieces such as "Wind on Water" fading up into an already complex bed of layered synths and treated guitar over which Fripp plays long, languid solos.
		As a culmination of Fripp and Eno's experiments, Evening Star shows how far they could go.

		Fripp was willing to challenge the expectations of live audiences and record buyers – not for the first or last time.
		Fripp's contribution of two hours worth of treated guitar work (his trademark "Frippertronics") formed the basis for Fayman's layering of interwoven electronic soundscapes.
		Fripp has led the band through more than three decades of musical experimentation that completely pushes the structure of rock, jazz and classical music to its limits.
