ROBERT FRIPP: SOUNDSCAPES
WFC Winter Garden
12:30 and 7pm
Robert Fripp, the famed English guitarist, composer, and founder of the prog-rock band, King Crimson, takes up a brief residency in the Winter Garden to perform his solo Soundscapes. Based on his “Frippertronics†explorations of the 70s, Fripp now creates lush sonic tapestries with electric guitar and digital effects. Each performance of Soundscapes is site-specific, often performed in majestic spaces, and always created in the spirit of the moment.
This performance is part of New Sounds Live, which is curated by John Schaefer, host and producer of WNYC Radio’s popular shows New Sounds and Soundcheck.
