RE: Fripp - sound?New soundscape to download

["Mark Sottilaro" <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Someone has already created a Reaktor patch that does a decent Fripp
emulation.  Fun!

Here's what I think is funny.  There are billions of guys who spend most of
their time trying to emulate Robert Johnson, Jimi, Eddie and no one says
anything.  Fripp ripped off Mahavishnu era McLaughlin (he admitted it) but
no one said a peep.  Why?  Haven't we all tried to emulate our musical
heroes at some point?  The way you miss is what makes you yourself.

As far as Fripp goes, I wasn't a huge fan of the last King Crimson outing,
but The Construktion of Light was an amazing effort for some old geezers.
Have other prog rockers kept it going as long?  Listen to the last Yes 
album
if you really want to see people who've left behind creative endeavors.

Sorry, I know...I'm a smart ass. I'm half tempted to create the max patch 
though. I'll call it the Random Fripper-Soundcapes Generator, for those 
who 
slavishly and adoringly seek to emulate what Fripp has since left behind 
to 
pursue other creative endeavors. The world is never too short of music 
genre

curators. There is plenty of room for all animals in the looping zoo.
