“[Frippertronics] is a wonderful way of playing for me. It has its limitations but it has its advantages. It’s so peaceful for me. At the same time when I’m twitchy, or, may I say when the audience are twitchy, because it’s that sensitive a way of working, the music flies off in a very edgy area. But there are times when you simply find the note of the room, because the notes which rooms have vary, and it’s not only a physical note, there’s a tempo between the machines and the hall and the audience, and if you can hit it just right it’s wonderful. It’s fabulous. And it’s also a really cheap way of touring.”

The last 15 minutes or so of the lecture contains a sparkling account of Robert's accretion of techniques and their application to Giles, Giles and Fripp and King Crimson - oh, and why a fuzzbox was a must-have. The musical examples with which Robert illustrates his lecture make this particular lecture unmissable.

Changed My Life
I am glad for the chance to hear this show again. I was there that night, just a few days after my 17th birthday. At that time I think the only Fripp-related album I had heard was Larks Tongues. I still remember the first time I listened to that album. It was a Saturday morning, and a friend played it for me. I had never heard anything like it. When we heard that Fripp was going to play in Princeton, there was no question of whether or not to go. Alexander Hall is a beautiful, distinctive pl...

Great sound
I love the Frippertronics of course, but the lecture and Q&A were excellent. A clear, cogent, honest explanation of his development as a guitarist, for one thing. The demo of the use of the fuzz box to overcome the "feebleness" of the guitar was awesome and visceral! So: strong frippertronics, but even stronger Fripp! Buy this!
