Whoa, a debate about the two mack-daddies of looped guitar?! This could get ugly! For my part, I wuv 'em both and consider them among my favorites. However, if pressed, I'd have to admit that I wish Fripp used his equipment a bit more resourcefully; I mean, with all the effects and synth modules he uses, why does he resort to that Mellotron-ish synthy sound 90% of the time, ignoring all the other timbral possibilities available to him? (probable answer: because he likes it) I think Torn gets more sonic mileage out of his equipment, especially considering that he's not going the synth route, but his pieces often lack the slow-burning, gradually-climaxing tension that Fripp is so great at manipulating. As a final aside, Torn's much more fun to watch during a performance. Peter PS My Boss GT-3 arrived in the mail yesterday. God, what a piece of machinery! This thing is going to keep me busy for years... ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Schindler <aaron_sorghum@yahoo.com> To: looper list <loopers-delight@annihilist.com> Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2000 8:57 PM Subject: torn vs. fripp > which do you enjoy more,the ambient/soundscape/looping > music of David Torn or Robert Fripp?
