Re: Soundscapes/Frippertronics debate postscript
*sigh* Okay.
To Hedewa7: Sorry I misspelled it. If I don't have it right this time,
forget it. If I have it right, forget it as well.
Chris: You fail to combine Fripp's playing technique with the use of
looping, which is really what Frippertronics is all about. I already
stated
(and you quoted me on it) that the term started out as a joke, just as I
already explained earlier that my line about Soundscapes becoming the new
fashionable term was also humorous. My version of Soundscapes follows this
approach, and if I come up with a different term obviously no harm will
come
as well. I can just imagine what will happen: We'll all have our own
labels for our performances, get all bent out of shape when someone calls
it
something else, and keep a heavy supply of hankies by our sides. I just
read Richard Zvonar's message and couldn't agree more. Britney Spears (to
use your comparison) wouldn't know the first thing to do without some major
producer by her side. Maybe I AM one of those Fripp zombies, but I think
few people would disagree here that he takes music to a completely
different
and unknown level. The bottom line is he makes it his own. That, too, is
innovation.
Finally, Rich & Jason: If there is ever a LD t-shirt that displays "Grab a
hanky and blow" anywhere on it I am deserving of a free one. I'm going to
have to start copyrighting my messages from now on. I take extra large.
Please inform me of the colors again. I, too, have an ego. And a sense of
humor, I hope everyone has realized.
Now back to bass mimicking and other things!
