@@Cheeseboiga I like both but I like my big muff deluxe with noise gate! you can get almost every big muff tone out of that wonderful box!!!! fripp sounds as he had the tone knob very closed and playing with neck pickup on his GTR!!!!! very creamy!!!
I've been a Fripp fan since about '70. He's gone through many incarnations, yet always seems to mystify. He's a true guitarist's guitarist whose unique style cannot be copied or imitated...
Saw him long time ago at the Roxy in LA. Was advertised as a lecture, but turned into a lengthy bit of him playing solo with the Frippertronics setup. Then a very lively Q and A. A wonderful evening
I love Robert Fripp's late 70s and early 80s solo albums and collaborations. League of Gentlemen, "No Pussyfooting" (actually that was early 70s), "Discipline", "Exposure", "God Save the Queen", "Let the Power Fall"....
Saw Fripp do this live in 1982 when he brought his pair of Revox machines and his ‘59 Les Paul Custom to Houston Hall at UPenn. The notes manage to glide between the cracks in our perception to another realm. The next level for most of us. I have to say these early reel to reel tape loop Frippertronics are more enticing to my ear than His later work with digital delays. There is more “controlled chaos” here which I adore.
pour moi, un véritable chef d'œuvre, que j'écoute depuis vingt cinq ans, les larmes aux yeux. les boucles, le son, et surtout les thèmes, vraiment sublimes ! merci ...
34 thumbs down!!! wow. Maybe not your thing, but how can you not appreciate the imagination, artistry, musicianship, and work it takes to achieve what he's doing here? SMH. Beautiful trip. Thank you for posting.
It's fuckers like you who helped convince the fat suits at Google to finally get rid of downvotes. Thank you for helping a corporation bastardize this once beautiful site beyond recognition, now it's just one ad after another, a glorified corporate messaging platform.
Para mí estas piezas de Mr. Robert Fripp (sus "Frippertronics") son una maravilla que me transmiten la calma necesaria para, por ejemplo, meditar antes de tomar una decisión o simplemente relajarme y disfrutar de su belleza y sensibilidad.
I never realized Frip might have influenced Alan Holdsworth later on. At 1:45 it reminds me of Steve Howe too. I took a summer workshop at Princeton U's electronic music lab in about 1978. The lab was built in the 60's so it was old school. The prof taught us tricks on tape machines like looping. I never made that connection until now.
J'ai écouté cette chanson sur ma radio de bord en fin de nuit. La pluie tombait doucement et je rentrais à la maison après une journée passée à Anvers accompagné de ma dernière petite amie avec qui j'ai fait l'amour dans sa maison à Haarlem aux Pays-Bas. C'était notre premier voyage à l'étranger. Elle était endormie dans l'habitacle à côté de moi et ce morceau est arrivé comme un cheveu sur la soupe de la programmation de la chaîne.... Jamais je n'oublierai cet air divin qui nous a berçé.
This is very exaggerated because Robert Fripp, if he brought his novelties to progressive rock, was above all the creator of an inspired sound architecture!
Very nice, I'm sure Mr. Fripp appreciates it. - I was lucky to attend a Frippertronics demonstration during his 'Exposure' promotional tour. In Chicago, it was at the Rose Record store on Ashland Avenue. He signed records and talked to some of those gathered. I asked him when the J.G. Bennett quote about world flooding was. '1964' was his terse reply. Thanks again sir.
I saw Fripp at the Roxy and I stayed for 2 shows, it was the “ One Small Mobile Intelligent Unit” tour. It was mind blowing as Fripp presented both lecture and live performance. It was mind blowing, just like this amazing clip.
My Lord, that's good. And that final treat: the clean sound on the outro, with its 70's-Crimson-style lead lines and final chords -- totally unexpected!
Este fluído eléctrico logra estirarme las ideas! En serio, me ayuda con sus frecuencia a integrar mi ímpetu en serenidad y esto es bueno para los que tenemos visión de emprendedores, ayuda a abrir las alas!!
The beginning of the Universe, the end of the Universe, repeatedly, to the eternity... while merging the atoms on his phalanges with those of the stardust. Love and respect for you Robert Fripp, forever.
It is impossible to achieve any aim without suffering. An aim is something that is not actually present yet, so there is separation from the aim. Separation is the reason of all suffering. As long as you have aims, you have to suffer. The awakened one knows that separation is illusionary, and he has no aims anymore. “You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Don't fall in inaction either" [Bhagavad Gita]
Worst feeling spending years writing original material that you had no idea had ever been done thank you for bettering me for now I can take it one step further
Fripp's solos over his own tape loops are among the most beautiful and elegant playing he's ever done. The warmth of that tone... How did he get such super fuzz without hiss accumulating on the loops? I'm afraid he has since broadened his palette far too wide with his soundscape gadgetry. KC should put out a non-digital record. Tube amps only! Real drums only! No samples! It's 1973: now play! That would be a challenge. That would be _progressive._
@@MarceloKatayama I really don't agree! It would be a step _forward_ to break the addiction to ever-changing technology which is not making anything sound any better. I call that progress.
@@worldnotworld The same could have been said about the unique instruments developed during the rock era. They didn't make anything sound better, yet, they were still used. Their capabilities were explored within the context of musical compositions, so they developed into respected instruments with their own unique vocabulary. This was progress then, and it is progress now. What you are suggesting is not progress, it's a tasteful integration of old (and, in the case of tube amps, obsolete) technologies. I would like to see it, but the truth is that it shouldn't be called progress under any metric.
I had several of those flexi discs and sadly they didn't seem to make it to a more permanent medium and The Easter disc was just brilliant. It's a shame we were not prepared for the future where these nuggets would not exist in the future world. However, I am glad to say this is one of the discs I loved most, therefore it is being recorded with great care even now. I believe it appeared on one of the earliest Crafty Guitarist albums with a predominant beige background and was the only solo from Fripp, the rest was The league of CG
Un flusso ipnotico di suoni che non si sa da dove vengono, né in quale galassia della mente potrebbero condurci. L'unica certezza è il genio musicale di FRIPP, artefice di molteplici e straordinari progetti musicali..
Can we just have a place where everyone can go to hear and feel the unbelievable musical genius of (hate the word) progressive giants. I'm so over arguing reason certain artist are ignored by the "all-knowing-experts" of the rock and roll hof. I just want brilliant sounds to live for generations to come. I've got a firm idea of the music I enjoy, it is varied but by now Its not going to change. Thank you all for the music. Where should a progressive hall of greats be erected and who are your first four artists/bands inducted?
Not to mention Level 5, which, as far as I can see as a crimhead and regarding the Bartôk+Hendrix experiment, is the jewel of the crown. The final form (Hopefully not!!!!!!) if you like.
he made accessible ambient music and massively deepened thought into what music actually is. like electricity, it is hard to define unless we manipulate it and run it through as many experiments as possible. what is most often found, is that music can summon emotion and maybe that is why we play. to tell a story without words and have you feel exactly what you want them to feel and just know.
Лучший, пожалуй, гитарист всех времен и народов. Как "acoustic", во всяком случае. А как с "electric" рядом можно поставить разве что Jan Akkerman (Focus).
With the guitar he shows me the universe. Brilliant
Fripp is a great reminder that you can remain creative throughout your life.
One of the giants in music history! A true genius!
I am listening to this on my headphones while my wife is watching an Italian TV program (which I can see but not hear). What a crazy,beautiful World
Crazy I agree. It is all confused and never goes anywhere. AWFUL NOISE.
How much deeper can this guy get into my soul?
He has the sweetest distortion. So fluid.
Never heard it put that way and I must agree. Fripp is very special.
...I do believe this was recorded prior to the sustainiac's invention...Volume was a big factor in those days...
@Wadsmitter Big Muff indeed!
@@wildfeuer triangle or ram's head, maybe?

Saw him long time ago at the Roxy in LA. Was advertised as a lecture, but turned into a lengthy bit of him playing solo with the Frippertronics setup. Then a very lively Q and A. A wonderful evening
Man...
Send me to the space just hearing this.
My favourite guitarist of all time;
Robert Fripp was way ahead of his time. A TRUE MASTERPIECE !!!
After all these years still brilliant and beautiful!
Soundscape therapy, thanks for everything Mr. Fripp
Such a beautiful soundscape.
It's a great complete piece. R. Fripp is a master you must hear. And then again.
“Start it once more immediately.”
Sublime - and exploring the boundaries without being violent, aggressive, uncouth or ugly.
I love Robert Fripp's late 70s and early 80s solo albums and collaborations. League of Gentlemen, "No Pussyfooting" (actually that was early 70s), "Discipline", "Exposure", "God Save the Queen", "Let the Power Fall"....

Make that Feb 20,1981. And apparently it was his ‘57 LP not his ‘59 that he used around that time.
damn I delivered pizzas to Houston hall all the time I never knew Fripp ever played there. I can imagine what that must've been like
I'm envious. I loved Frip back in those days but never saw him live.
Twice in a row, two successive nights. Soon followed by Discipline live twice in a night. Solo Peter Hamill that year, too. Too much for a teenager. 😂
Robert Fripp Is A Sophisticated Genius
Danke schön, für diese wundervolle MUSIK .... darin kann ich klanglich BADEN.... im Geist... und in der Seele.... Danke !
This is joyful and yet intensely sad.
My body reacted immediately with his tone.
Thank You for this.
Long live Robert Fripp

Just absolutely gorgeous.❤
Astonishingly beautiful
Diese Musik ist sehr schön, Herr Fripp. Es hat eine stille Tiefe.
Food of my life, part of my past,nourishment of the soul I have. Sit and listen after a good glass of red. I grew up with this guy's music.
outstanding, clever, unusual, artistic ...
Absolutely glorious.

Robert Fripp is considered by many to be an inovator of the electric guitar, much in the same way as Les Paul was in the 40's-50's.
This is very exaggerated because Robert Fripp, if he brought his novelties to progressive rock, was above all the creator of an inspired sound architecture!
Brilliantly mesmerizing

Rose Records!
It never happened and never stopped.
Larger than life.
"Greatness does what no one else can do. Genius does what no one else can see."
Everytime I hear his guitar playing I feel so good and my mind is flying. .Than I take my guitar and I have to play,too
Love Robert Fripp!
He is, was, and will continue to be, the man.....makes it harder for all us mere mortals.

I haven't heard this is sooo way too long !! AWESOME !!!!
and then i was born
Anyone who loves Toyah Willcox has my vote, after all Robert Fripp does.
It is impossible to achieve the aim without suffering...
Exposure
When Exposure came out, it shook me to the core. Robert Fripp is a genious.
Indeed. Sad but true...
It is impossible to achieve any aim without suffering.
An aim is something that is not actually present yet, so there is separation from the aim.
Separation is the reason of all suffering.
As long as you have aims, you have to suffer.
The awakened one knows that separation is illusionary, and he has no aims anymore.

KC should put out a non-digital record. Tube amps only! Real drums only! No samples! It's 1973: now play! That would be a challenge. That would be _progressive._
Challenging and exciting, probably. But not at all progressive, I'd say.
@@MarceloKatayama Oh, it would definitely be progressive to buck the obsession with high-tech. It would be progress.

Very cool video - looks like a labor of Love.
Una inmensidad sonora que con tono esperanzador, nada es imposible . Robert Fripp, UNICO.
I you like this theme, you should listen to Fripp´s "Easter Sunday", it´s a rare piece released as flexi disc for Guitar Player Magazine in 1986.
That one cut really sold me on Frippertronics. It has been finally issued on CD and is worth looking out for('Love cannot bear')
I had several of those flexi discs and sadly they didn't seem to make it to a more permanent medium and The Easter disc was just brilliant. It's a shame we were not prepared for the future where these nuggets would not exist in the future world.

If someone has to explain to you about the piece of music you are listening to, it ceases to become what it set out to be.
First time hearing this ever, that I know of or can recall.
sensational!!!
so still. angels ! all over the place !
wonderful...i dig the clean chops towards the end, so gorgeous...thx!
