I believe RF has been playing in public spaces for quite a while, from pizza parlors to Peaches/Tower Records, to the World Congress Center. Some sites in the UK as well, but his attitude towards playing in the UK is I think spot on - "You can't sell ambient music in England", or something similar to that. I'm attempting to build a busk-a-matic kind of portable rack for the purpose of doing the Carling busking thing, simply because I'd like to bounce my sounds off the tiles in the tube stations. I suspect RF's efforts in England are pretty much artistically-motivated, and just that... From: "L.A.
