I however interpreted (and still do lacking of other definitions) that "the first take broke down" to mean that the tape broke. Guess not, huh? Well, what DOES that mean? A look at RF's diary these days will show a use of a personal shorthand for things that would cause one to wonder about the "take broke down" meaning - so perhaps what this meant could be a couple of items, yes? Sometimes when I construct a loop (on the fly that is) it becomes something I didn't and don't want - such as when an accidental off-tempo-to-the-loop bit happens, which causes the entire loop to simulate a musical version of sneakers in a clothes dryer. End result, I don't want to keep it, and it represents something I don't wish to be publicly "mine" per se. On that level, at the point of mistake and afterwards, I could say that the "take broke down". > Stephen > > > > >> An additional note about Under Heavy Manners was that apparently during >> Zero >> of the Signified, the tape broke, but Fripp had the master loop to later >> overdub that fast arpeggio onto.
