  • The small room in the headquarters of DGM where Robert invited me to do the interview was appropriated for this task: no noise, no distracting objects, ok acoustics.
    Just before we started something happened that I will never forget. When I unpacked & installed my little recording equipment and pressed the "on"-button nothing happened: no power. Tried it again...nothing. New attempts....zero, niente, nichts!
    Robert was looking over my shoulder while I was desperately trying to make my recorder work. On my question if he ever worked with this kind of equipment and had some knowledge of it his short and very clear answer was "no"! Now I slowly started to panick: my God, if this machine won't work I have travelled my 8 hour trip for nothing and will return home with lots of dismay & anger but with NO interview! Then all of a sudden, after lots of pressing....yo!
    I will never know why initially it refused to work....what I do know is that this little technical delay made me feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately this feeling of inconvience disappeared from the moment the interview started. I kept a little fear throughout our conversation that the recorder might malfunction again, but since I needed to concentrate on the content of our talk and also constantly had to translate my questions and reactions in English I simply had no time to be bothered by such a thing as 'fear of failing technics'. It must be said by the way that Robert of course is a great interviewee since he gives his interviewer all the time he needs to formulate his questions and thoughts. I thank him for that!
    Part 2's content of conversation is:
    00:13 quote 1 anarchism
    06:27 quote 2 as Hendrix playing Bartok
    11:50 quote 3 is music of KC cerebral?
    16:45 KC is impersonal: the music demands what is necessary
    23:48 touring?
    25:22 retreat '74: why leave the music industry?
    27:11 retreat '74: reactions other members KC
    28:59 retreat '74: J.G. Bennett
    31:21 retreat '74: did you feel 'lost'?
    35:04 importance J.G. Bennett
    40:15 Guitar Craft ('85)

    What I like,sorry love about Fripp is that he gives his audience some credit for being intelligent.

    I'd like to hear him speak about Sherbourne house and Bennett much more. kinda sounds like Bas isn't into that stuff though. Too bad since it's of so much more value than the music.

    Great interview, but I really loved the story prior to the interview that you wrote in the description. Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to secure such a lengthy interview with Fripp?

      The short answer is: that's a long story, rhinehartd. Thanks for your comment.

    very informative, and i'm glad your recorder didn't fail. it seemed robert was comfortable with you bas. :)))))
    it's interesting that robert said that stravinsky and bartok wrote some of their music based on folk. of course lark's tongue is my fave track.

    “… a radical comparison” - as much as I admire Fripp, I’d call that comparison actually a mad and tasteless one, I’m afraid.

    It's interesting how Fripp seemed to become uncomfortable and suddenly tired and cut the interview short after you got into talking about his leaving KC. I had heard that he thought the end of the world was coming because that's what that group was teaching. He gave up being a rock star for misguided prophecies.

      "He gave up being a rock star for misguided prophecies." How on Earth did you come to that conclusion? His period at Sherbourne House, none of which seems to have had anything to do with prophecies but rather teaching, appears to have been key in the development of himself from being a very competent guitarist to his becoming a very successful and much-respected figure in modern music.
