Since it didn't get mentioned in the DOD session, I feel I should mention here: the piano outro on Journey's "Mother, Father" was in fact part of the song. It gave Perry a minute to rest his voice mid-set, especially after the demands of this song.

Really looking forward to watching this. As a non-councillor, I got a free invite to this session through a Doug's Trivia prize. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and especially music I had never heard before and really MUST listen to again. I had only heard Caravan (my pick) and Trip to the Fair before (so love them both!), and was amazed by some of the others. Great stuff!

So much Renaissance for Doug to still experience. Prologue, At the Harbour (Debussy), Running Hard (Alain), Cold is Being (Albinoni), Ocean Gypsy…

Sorry I couldn’t make it. Ray’s description of Frippertronics was good. What’s important to understand is that they are entirely improvised. Fripp did several tours in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s of Frippertronics, in small “venues” like record stores, pizza restaurants, etc. He would typically start by improvising several new loops. He would then rewind them and solo over them. He would also have a Q&A session. The looping technique was shown to Fripp by Brian Eno, although others had used it before and influenced Eno. The distance between the two machines set the length of the delay. That is, the time between it recording on one machine and playing back on the second (and being recorded again). When working with Eno, Brian would also modify or add effects to his guitar tone. Some of those effects Robert was able to do live which is why the loops don’t always sound like a regular guitar. But every note you heard was generated by Robert and his guitar, no guitar synth (yet). Soundscapes expanded the concept by using four TC Electronics digital delays and a guitar synth. The delays were usually set to different lengths, so the individual loops shift in relation to each other. The four individual loops could also be modified after the fact, slowing them down or speeding them up, for example. So they can be much more complex. He also drops in and out of the loops to solo. They are absolutely incredible live, I’ve been to many shows.

Doug, you should check out the Playing for Change version of When the Levee breaks, which features musicians from around the world, including JPJ on bass,plus Susan T singing one verse and Derek playing slide.

It would definitely be worth listening to Frippertronics proper, because it is fascinating hearing him, in real time, choosing new notes, knowing that they will recur and add to the overall texture. Over time, too, the quality of the older notes gradually degrades and eventually fades. The result is an ever-changing fabric of sound. Again: it would be very easy for a less-talented player to create a real mess with this technique! But Fripp, of course, is fabulous at note choice in context.
