waitingmanWhilst reading Robert Fripp's Online Diary, I found a helpful(!!??) article he'd been sent outlining his playing history.
Biography
The Fripp young person begins the study of the guitar prevailing itself a method that will accompany it for all the life and that it is reflected in the greater part of its compositions, contraddistinte from cues of remarkable virtuosismo and marked ecletticità , with references to classic music, contemporary and ethnic music.
In 1969 I found with Greg Lake, Mike Giles, Ian McDonald and the poet Pete Sinfield the King Crimson, one of the maximums you concern to us created you of music POP after the Beatles. In 1970, after that Greg Lake leaves the group, of it she becomes leader, imposing to band a carried out more they experiments and atonal.
Beyond to its activity inside of the several incarnations of the King Crimson, in which it is the only always present member, Robert Fripp collaborates with musicians like Brian Eno (with to which she has invented and perfected the technique she dictates Frippertronics), David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Peter Hammill and Andy Summers.
In 1974 he melts the King Crimson and he under consideration dedicates the three years succeeded you of the disciplines of Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff.
In the 1977 one moves in an apartment of Berlin with David Bowie and Brian Eno and entirety records Heroes. In the two years succeeded there is to New York where it records its first disc from solista, Exposure. From 1981 to 1984 album with reformed the King Crimson records three and proceeds therefore, from 1985, to the formation of the own school of guitar, for which it studies and standard a completely new approach to the instrument, saying Guitar Craft: a connubio between musical discipline, techniques yoga and the Alexander method adopted from the recitazione schools.
In 1994 I found one new incarnation of the King Crimson with which - also with variations in the organic one - it continues to play and to record album.
After a long legal battle with the record label that possessed the rights of the recordings of the King Crimson, Robert Fripp has opened the own label, Mobile the Global Disciplines that produce and distribute to the editions of the jobs of the King Crimson and many other artists.
The chitarristica technique of Fripp, above all with the guitar electrical worker, is not founded on the blues, like in the event of others celebrates English solisti (from Eric Clapton to Ritchie Blackmore, from Jeff Beck to Jimmy Page), but on one a personal mix of classic music and jazzistiche suggestions (than they are found more than in the fraseggio, in the melodico-harmonic choices). There is then an incessant search of new technical solutions for that it regards the elaboration electronic of the sound; very famous the Frippertronics system, based on the passage of the sound of the guitar on a ring of magnetic tape that passes through two recorders to Revox coils couples to you, so as to to be able to create complexes polifonici carpets in constant metamorphosis. Fripp is sure one of the strumentisti ones more originates them and sophisticated in the history of the guitar electrical worker, and undoubtedly one of more imitates to you.
So there you go... you need never ask me about my favourite band or guitarist again.
