Robert Fripp releases free track recorded at twin towers
25 October 2001

As New Yorkers know, the World Financial Center, commonly known as the World Trade Center or the twin towers, held much more than business offices. It held a medium size city’s worth of shops, farmer’s markets, restaurants, day care centers, galleries, and performance spaces.
    Notably, it held the Winter Garden, a stunning, glass-ceilinged public space that was home to New York’s Arts & Events Program—“a series of free performances, exhibitions, installations, and festivals created to showcase emerging as well as established artists” according to the former center’s Website.
    King Crimson founding member, experimental guitarist Robert Fripp, staged a solo performance at The Winter Garden in December of last year. He has now made available one of his so-called Soundscapes recorded live at that show, titled Refraction, with the stipulation that all download sites must offer the MP3 file free of charge.
    About Soundscapes, Fripp wrote “This series of performances is itself part of an ongoing exploration of how one might be a musician, professional musician, and human being simultaneously; and how music might enter our sorry world, despite all our efforts to keep it out.” | Robert Fripp | | Refraction info from Ars Divina | | Refraction (full length MP3) | | Refraction (alternate download site) | | top of page |
