And why would I want his written >autograph, >>when I have his musical autograph on the CD in my hand? > it's funny...I spent part of an afternoon with Robert Fripp when I did a product demo for him before a King Crimson show. I'd never really listened to him before that, and never found his music interesting enough to listen afterwards either. But I found Robert to be a very nice, open fellow, and enjoyed our conversations about gear and loops and such. Maybe he just treats his fans badly? another funny thing. People talk about Fripp on this list every now and then, but they almost never talk about what he actually does with looping. I think I know more about his looping from talking to him directly about it than I ever learned from anybody here. Maybe some of us non-fripp enthusiasts might like to hear something a little more loop specific? It would certainly be more interesting to me than comparisons between Robert Fripp and Joe Satriani, or opinions about his lectures, or indignant defenses of some Frippian character trait, or whatever else you've been talking about. kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact System Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
