Robert Fripp Instagram – When the moody slo-mo burn of Frippertronics meets the bright and brittle guitar chords of Sunday All Over The World’s Blood Bruise Tattoo, it’s a brand new example of Applied Frippetronics courtesy of Alex ‘Stormy’ Mundy’s Monday Selection, newly added to the online archive today. Download at dgmlive.com (link in bio).
The track, from the underrated self-titled album by Sunday All Over The World (which featured Toyah Willcox and Trey Gunn), when combined with what is a completely different musical event almost a decade later, creates new and intriguing associations and resonances, one gently and sympathetically complementing the other.
The Frippertronics were performed at a benefit concert for WXPN FM, the radio station of the University of Pennsylvania. The show (all of which is downloadable from DGMLive) was a significant event for Fripp as he related to journalist Vic Garbarini. “I was listening and I heard the next note I had to play. And I played it. Then I heard the next note, and I played that one. I’d been waiting 23 years for that to happen…and it was the first time it ever happened to me. And I started to cry while I was playing.”
An excerpt from this track is also now available on YouTube (link in stories).
