I had the pleasure of meeting Markus at one of the "projeKCt one" concerts at the Jazz Cafe (Camden Town, London) last December, and he was carrying his Warr with him then... Funny you should mention Fripp: Amazing Sounds sent me this: "On February 19, the live multimedia concert Explorations in Space" will be held at the Langford Auditorium at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, USA. The headliner for the evening will be Robert Fripp and his Frippertronics."
