Robert plays what might be called sacred space music to a couple of hundred souls [endtease] who, at various times during the afternoon, occupied the pews of St. Peter’s Church, Newlyn. They were there to support the beneficiaries of this fund-raising concert, the Shallal Dance Theatre, who were £1,000 better off by end of the day.

For the final fifteen minutes, Robert was joined by members of the company. Trevor Lever recalls "I'm not sure how much if this - if any - was rehearsed, but it appeared that the children were responding to the music and Robert, in turn, was responding to their movements. It really worked and there was a generous and enthusiastic amount of applause at the end, including a smiling Robert from the side."

Lush and symphonic, there seems to be many connections with Robert’s past music laced throughout this concert. To these ears momentary bursts of The Heavenly Music Corporation, Exposure and Bringing Down The Light connect to the themes and moods which would form the backbone of the December Suite series of concerts. The guitarist summed the day up thus “A very attentive, engaged & present audience. This was a privileged event.” Engineer Alex “Stormy” Mundy puts it this way:” Over a hundred minutes of damned good stuff!”

Please note that there are some pop, clicks and occasional distortion caused by the recording levels being set too high and overloading the hard drive.

Robert comments “Alex has worked heroically to deal with the distortion on this recording. Perhaps there are parts to make an audiophile, one for whom timbral veracity is a necessary truth, twitch gently. But, this works well enough for me.”

Pure heaven
It occurs to me that big number of soundscapes available are essential - and this one is no exception! Listening to the first set is like flying in the sky accompanied by beautiful , colorful clouds. Layers of sound-clouds coming and going, washing over my spirit in this wonderful place where time stands still, with emotions changing as the weather does, though connected to the unchangeable sky-space at the same time. I would rather call the first part delicate and ruminative.The second set is d...

The Joy
People have noted that the audio quality of this recording is not perfect. I feel fortunate that I am more of a musicophile than an audiophile. I have minor hearing problems: people are always re-adjusting my equalizer as the settings that work for me make them twinge - not so much the volume as the combination of sound elements is always the issue. I believe this helps me hear  Mr. Fripp’s sounds in a fresh way. This recording is simply one of my favorites. Not only it’s length, allowi...

  Well,I have just downloaded this and I chose to sit for my "first- a-listening"- in the garden, with the sun shining between intermittent showers, to what the brothers (and sisters?) in Oregon had sent me via Fripp world central or whatever the hell you call it, only less than a hundred miles from where I now is-a-breathing. (that is Old Hampshire UK.)  Holy Moses ! The very birds started accumulating rythmns I had so far been unaccustommed to knowing. The tractors...

A Beautiful Beginning To The December Suite!!!
Robert Fripp’s December Suite series of Soundscape performances begins with this, the very first gig from December 3rd 2005 in St. Peter’s Church in Newlyn UK. For this performance, Fripp was the main and only act (unlike the shorter performances while opening for the band Porcupine Tree) which means that the music is allowed to stretch into slow, breathing atmospheres with plenty of meditative space. This concert is similar to the shorter performances previously heard in the Dece...
