King Crimson Family & Friends Discipline Global Mobile 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. Awash in the looping structures of Robert Fripp's guitar soundscapes, Jeffrey Fayman adds an opulent cinematic brilliance to the proceedings, creating an intense and dramatic vision of a future rich in the heritage of Fripp's past. With 'The Power To Believe,' guitarist Robert Fripp, vocalist/guitarist Adrian Belew, Warr guitarist/rubber bass guitarist Trey Gunn and drummer Pat Mastelotto have created a masterwork that both challenges the listener and continues the musical legacy of King Crimson, which Fripp formed in 1969. artist-shop.com /discipln   (4824 words)

Disinformation :: Robert Fripp To Compose Vista Soundtrack My favorite Fripp recordings include his first solo album Exposure (1979) and the poignant Soundscapes II: A Blessing of Tears (1995). Slashdot has just announced that Fripp has recorded ambient soundscapes for Microsoft's Vista operating system. Longtime Disinfonauts may remember I've often referenced Robert Fripp's diary for aphorisms and reflective insights about craft and creativity. www.disinfo.com /site/displayarticle14654.html   (322 words)

noise robert fripp His solo work is more of a personal and professional quest than anything else: his innovative guitar-looping technique (first introduced to him in analogue form by Eno) has, in the guise of "Frippertronics" (and later "Soundscapes"), shaped his approach to business practice in the music industry and his approach to music itself. A superlative guitarist, Robert Fripp has been performing music professionally since 1968. With Fripp, this mode of expression is more overtly stated, the serious approach to the guitar as a respectable instrument while still working in the pop / rock field is notable. fringedigital.com /noise/artists/fripp.shtml   (258 words)

Engage Brain Before Eating - Jon Carroll on Robert Fripp Robert talks just to you for 9 hours and 30 minutes of his favorite Soundscapes.

New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock KI-KY Texturally the sound is more diverse than the 80's sound with the resurrection of the Mellotron (played by Robert Fripp) and the addition of guitar synths, which are used to create surreal shifting soundscapes with haunting atmospheres. The first album by the 90's incarnation of Crimson was Thrak, which featured the talents of Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew on guitars, Trey Gunn and Tony Levin on stick and Bill Bruford and Pat Mastelotto on drums. The sequences are sometimes harmonized very simply, with 4ths or 5ths simply playing in parallel to the main notes of the melody, and sometimes with complex, bizarre, and dissonant harmonies. www.gepr.net /ki.html   (782 words)

Amazon.com: Music: Soundscapes 2: Blessing of Tears [LIVE] Robert Fripp's "A Blessing of Tears" consists of improvised live performances from Fripp's solo soundscapes tour in the beginning of 1995. It is fragile and often of stunning beauty, in particular on this album-- "A Blessing of Tears" is a reflection on the death of Fripp's mother, whose eulogy (by the guitarist) is included in the liner notes. Blessing of Tears is not just noise, however, not the chaotic guitar fury of his work in King Crimson or even the Soundscaping white noise of the other two discs in the 1995 trilogy. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000005ONR?v=glance   (4309 words)

CD review - King Crimson - ProjeKct Four, West Coast live ProjeKcts Three and Four show, as the two first, that technology also implies an experiment: the MIDI that allows to make soundscapes, the "talker" used by Trey Gunn, the motley system of electronic percussion of Pat Mastelotto, the two Whammy pedals of Fripp. The release of ProjeKct Two in studio with Trey Gunn, Adrian Belew and, of course, Robert Fripp, provoked bewilderment for King Crimson followers. To listen to anything by K.C. is a constant hunt for shades. www.progvisions.i12.com /reviews_uk/p4_wcl_uk.htm   (4309 words)

Robert Fripp -- A Messing of Years In 1994, Fripp undertook his "first solo tour in over eleven years." The first CD issued with this material was called simply 1999, with the descriptive subtitle, "Soundscapes - Live in Argentina." Sometimes I've seen this listed as 1999 Soundscapes - Live in Argentina which is obviously incorrect. The GSTQ part of that album contained three Frippertronics loops, one of which was entitled "1983." That was the start of his using years as titles for his solo pieces. The next album, Let The Power Fall, consisted of six Frippertronics pieces (from the 1979 tour), entitled, "1984," "1985," "1986," "1987," "1988," and "1989." www.projekction.net /textonly/thread.php?topic_id=650   (352 words)

Frippertronics-era Robert Fripp: Let's Discuss To be fair he's not calling it Frippertronics anymore, the 90's records are adorned with the phrase 'Soundscapes'. 'Frippertronics is defined as that musical experience which results at the (intersection) of Robert Fripp and a small and appropriate level of technology which is my Les Paul, the Fripple board, the Fripp pedal board of fuzz, wah-wah and volume pedals and two Revoxes.' Modern version of Frippertronics - plug your guitar into a Roland guitar synth, play chords that automatically come out as swelling synth washes, release 20 records of it. ilx.p3r.net /thread.php?msgid=4890050   (1592 words)

The Birth of Loop The next incarnation of Frippertronics was called Soundscapes and employed a growing array of sophisticated digital machinery, such as digital looping devices and harmonizers. For Fripp, Frippertronics was a powerful way to open himself up for music and to explore new musical territory. Due to Fripp's quasi-cult-status as King Crimson guitarist, the Frippertronics tours and records brought the idea of looping to many musicians' attention. www.loopersdelight.com /history/Loophist.html   (3412 words)

DigitalMetal.com Just when you thought you didn’t need another King Crimson live album, out comes the two-disc VROOOM VROOOM, the definitive concert recording of 1995-96’s Double Trio line-up — two guitarists (Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew), two ‘bassists’ (Tony Levin and Trey Gunn), and two drummers (Bill Bruford and Pat Mastelotto). The Stick interlude “Two Sticks” sets the mood before plowing into “Elephant Talk.” Belew takes to the piano for a Beatles cover of “Free As A Bird,” and the band closes the proceedings with the emotively unruffled “Walking On Air,” masterfully exuding Fripp’s soundscapes through to the coda. With this and all of these live albums plus the scads that’re restricted to members of the Collectors’ Club, King Crimson are quickly becoming the Grateful Dead of progressive rock. www.digitalmetal.com /reviews.asp?cid=5260   (3412 words)

Ground and Sky review - FFWD - self-titled This disc might be approached as a secret volume from Fripp's Soundscapes series. A much-coveted, now out of print disc that marks the one-off pairing in 1993 of guitarist legend Robert Fripp with the rave-ambient unit known as The Orb. It is certainly not worth the $25-40 price you'll see it commanding nowadays on eBay, but it's pleasant music to relax to. www.progreviews.com /reviews/display.php?rev=ffwd-ffwd   (3412 words)

Platekompaniet The dark, intense angularity that is a Crimson trademark is offset by a couple of ethereal, ambient electronic soundscapes, but there's plenty of hard-prog thrashing for those who were turned on to the band by their tour with heavy rockers Tool. King Crimson: Adrian Belew (vocals, guitar); Trey Gunn (guitar, fretless bass); Robert Fripp (guitar); Pat Mastelotto (drums, programming). Along the way, Fripp, Adrian Belew and company also manage to venture more fully than ever into the Balinese Gamelan sound they first began exploring on 1981's DISCIPLINE, and drummer Pat Mastelloto throws in some electronic flavors that nod to drum-and-bass and garage beats. www.platekompaniet.no /cdproduct.asp?id=SAN155CD   (239 words)

New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock KI-KY Texturally the sound is more diverse than the 80's sound with the resurrection of the Mellotron (played by Robert Fripp) and the addition of guitar synths, which are used to create surreal shifting soundscapes with haunting atmospheres. Klaatu were a Canadian 4 piece who had a sound reminiscent of the mid-period Beatles; In fact it was the big rumor after their first album release in 1976 that this was actually the Beatles reunited and recording under a different name. Without analog synth solos and with the occasional use of programmed rhythms, the album sound is pushed slightly more towards "modern" than with Solaris who always seem to strike a delicate balance between the retro and contemporary aspects of their sound. www.gepr.net /ki.html   (239 words)

no-man.co.uk - related project news Bass Communion music is made almost entirely without the use of synthesizers, using in preference sampled source material from actual live performances, some of which has been provided by Robert Fripp (guitar soundscapes) and Theo Travis (saxophones, flutes). A full-length CD album will be released by the Soleilmoon label towards the end of 2004. Although not credited as such, this was essentially a Bass Communion album of a more accessible and friendly nature, containing eighteen short pieces of atmospheric music (used as incidental or background music on TV and radio worldwide) as well as 60- and 30-second edits of each piece. www.no-man.co.uk /related-projects-news-main.htm   (7067 words)

Bill Rieflin In the latter years Rieflin has worked with musicians associated with King Crimson, and on his debut album Birth Of A Giant, both Robert Fripp (guitar and soundscapes) and Trey Gunn (Warr guitar) contribute. Bill Rieflin handles most of the remaining instruments, and besides being a first class drummer and percussionist, he also proves to be a competent vocalist with a voice slightly resembling David Sylvian. All in all, this is a more than approved debut from Rieflin, and if your musical references are the above mentioned, I believe this record will be to your taste. www.tarkus.org /reviews/bill_rieflin.html   (4887 words)
