PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN KURZBESCHREIBUNG Die Washington Square Church Auftritte repräsentieren einige der feinsten Aufnahmen der Frippertronics Serie. Anders als bei anderen Aufnahmen dieser Art, wo die Loops auf Bändern in den DGM Archiven vorhanden waren, aber die Solos eine akribische Abstimmung mit existierenden Aufnahmen aus dem Publikum oder Bootlegs verlangten, um das Bild zu komplettieren, wurden die Solos für diese Shows aufgenommen aber nicht beschriftet, so dass nicht klar war, welches Solo zu welchem Loop gehörte. Das zusammenfügen der richtigen Aufnahmen wurde erst ermöglicht, als DGM Audio-Techniker Alex R. Mundy erkannte, dass die Loops in minimaler Lautstärke von den Tonabnehmern der Solo-Gitarre mit aufgenommen wurden und so die Zuordnung ermöglicht wurde. David Singleton war es so möglich, die Aufnahmen zu mischen und die vorliegenden Aufnahmen zu produzieren.Das ist das Frippertronics Album, das eigentlich 1982 hätte erscheinen sollen. Die 40 Jahre, die seither vergangen sind, haben der Kraft der Musik keinen Abbruch getan. BIOGRAPHIE DER MITWIRKENDEN After completing the first round of concerts with a revived King Crimson starting in May 1981, Fripp headed over to the USA where he began a week-long residency at Washington Square United Methodist Church on 135 W Fourth Street in New York. Built in 1860, the church had historically been home to many congregations but in more recent years had become the venue for groups such as the Black Panthers, Gay Men’s Health Crisis and numerous arts organisations. The series of Frippertronics concerts were held in aid of a Soho-based theatre group and they find the guitarist using his technique of slowly building the music from the ground up, step by step. It’s an approach which demonstrates how the addition or subtraction of a single note can change the entire mood of a piece as we move in the space of a few bars from an atmosphere of pensive anticipation to one of yearning hope. In an interview with the Melody Maker published just weeks before these concerts, Fripp was asked why he continued to perform Frippertronics concerts. “It gives me a way of working with intimate contact with members of an audience...It's almost an excuse to put me in a situation where one has the audience, performer and music, and in a certain kind of way something remarkable can happen. And that has happened to me, and it's not possible in a group...Frippertronics is the most enjoyable means of playing I've ever found.” The Washington Square Church performances represent some of the finest recorded examples of the Frippertronics series. Unlike other such recordings where the loops are on tape in the DGM archive but the solos require painstaking matching of existing audience recordings and bootlegs to those loops to complete the picture, the solos for these shows were actually recorded but not labelled as to which solos matched which loops. The matched pairs only became possible when DGM audio engineer Alex R. Mundy realised that the loops had been picked up, at microscopic audio levels, by the guitar pick-ups playing the solos, allowing for identification. David Singleton was then able to mix and produce the resulting audio. The music played more than rewards such efforts as, culled from the shows, (more complete versions appear on the “Exposures” boxed set), Fripp appears to explore every sonic avenue available to him as a guitar player – mesmerising loops, overlaid with beautiful solos, fast running ‘Frame by Frame’ style lines against a looped background, powerful ‘Scary Monsters’ type guitar noises and more besides. This is the Frippertronics album that should have come out in 1982. The forty years that have passed have done nothing to diminish the power of the music. TRACKLISTING Side One 1.
