On the 5th of February 1978, Robert Fripp made the first solo performance of what would later be known as Frippertronics at the Kitchen (hence the exercise name Gastronomical), one of New York’s leading avant-garde art scenes.
He used a technique developed by Terry Riley and Pauline Oliveros in the ‘60 where two reel-to-reel tape recorders were set up so that the sound was recorded on the first tape machine and then played back a short time later by the second machine, the length of the tape connecting the two machines determines the length of the delay. He then played along with the delayed sound, layering new parts over the loops in real-time creating a complex, evolving soundscape.
This exercise was released on the 5th of February 2024, 46 years later, as a tribute to his significant contribution to the world of music.
