The events of 9/11 give this venue a profound significance. Of the music, Robert offers these insights from his personal diary published here for the first time. [endtease]

I love this space. At lunch equipment problems three times in a row forced me to go in another musical direction to the one intended. I trust when this happens, so I followed where it lead. This evening, I continued in the same direction. Interestingly, I was unable to push the music somewhere else. Technical concerns aside, something was going on.

In personal remembrance of my professional life, the performances in the Atrium of the World Financial Center have continued to resonate as something of an event. To decline an invitation to re-open the reconstructed Atrium in 2003, while King Crimson was touring, was a matter of deep regret.The privilege of playing music within this remarkable space was balanced by extraordinary demands for photography, autography, filming, recording and forms of personal attention. It seems that, to present much of anything in a public context, is an unlikely undertaking. Nevertheless, I persist.

Wow
One of the very first shows I downloaded from DGM, and I still come back to it. An exemplary soundscapes performance. Part 5 is just...wow...

Powerfully moving
It was an excerpt from this recording - I believe released by RF in the wake of 9/11 - that awakened me to the power of soundscapes. Over the years since I downloaded the full performance, it has proven unfailing in its ability to move me. Certainly, if I wanted to introduce a friend to Fripp’s soundscapes, this is the recording I would lend them.

Light, Shade & Dark
I downloaded this concert three months ago. After a dozen or so listens, I’m only beginning to be able to sort out and articulate my feelings about it. I’ve been trying to work my way into Soundscapes (or they’ve been working their way into me) for about 10 or 15 years now; I’ve found that my reactions tend to be somewhat unpredictable. Sometimes Fripp’s Soundscapes leave me cold, sometimes they’re depressing, sometimes they’re tremendously uplifting; often these feelings occur i...

Out of the muck and into the stars
I’ve loved electronic music ever since  I heard my first TV re-run horror-movie theremin licks. Walter (Wendy) Carlos’ Switched On Bach was my formal initiation into the ranks of electronica fans. While Carlos utilized an entire studio built around a classic "switchboard"-type Moog synthesizer and multi-track analogue tape to virtually re-write the rules of classical performance, Fripp’s live improvisation in this now-lost landmark venue showers us with heavenly blue and hellfire red ...
