On the last night of the Porcupine Tree tour, Fripp launches into a set of entrancing soundscapes that dazzle and beguile.[endtease] Singer with No-Man and Centrozoon, Tim Bowness, was at the gig. “The last third of his set, which featured a more pronounced guitar solo voice over looped orchestral textures and constantly shifting melodic rhythm patterns provided a potent ending and my favourite section of the show.”
From Robert’s diary 11 12 2005
The Soundscapes set: a full venue, standing, smoky, flashes, several helpful comments to urge along the Soundscaper (ie to hasten his demise). Also, some good ears. Overall, an unsettled audience that challenged the player to remain focused. There were some musical developments, although it was difficult to feel an overall sense of the performance because so few people heard what was going on; and their lack of connection prejudiced my own. But, I trust the process, and persist.
