Notes
Day two of the Churchscapes tour finds Fripp’s at Pershore Abbey. In this meeting of ancient sacred stones and electronic 21st century tones, the mood initially seems to be slightly cautious. The stately progress of Time Stands Still provides several moments of reverie but the transitional areas of Queer Space Harmonic Minor battle for any kind of foothold. Consequently, the changeover from this to the sublime At The End Of Time seems almost abrupt when it comes. The soloing in the movements that follow contain that sustain-driven weeping quality which burn with a yearning intensity. The slow building climax especially is a thing of beauty. Though this performance may not be as dramatic or as immediate as as others in the Churchscape series, it nevertheless illustrates Fripp laying down the template for some of the most significant concerts of his solo career to date.

i downloaded this a few days ago and waited . . . for the moment when i would be able to hear this music. each soundscape possesses unique qualities. sonically they arrive at similar places but in other ways they afford insights into things like the degree to which the musician and the listener are available to the music. with "pershore" there are hints in "bell threshold", which is richer and more complex than others i’ve heard, that something is on its way. it really seems to open out at around the six minute point of "time stands still". the music swirls and washes back and forth and then all of a sudden you can feel it in the hairs on the back of your neck, in the sudden rush of energy through your body. something came in the door. later in the "coda at the end of time" a beautiful expanse of soundscape washes is layered over by a thousand points of light carillon that has a similar quality. after listening to all the soundscapes that dgm has provided, i still find it amazing that the process and a facsimile of the event are available to the degree they are. so thanks! steven
