Re: Fripp & the EH16

Hi!

        Here are a link to Fripp's Discipline site if you haven't been 
there. It's
got a discussion on soundscapes and the equipment used: 
http://www.disciplineglobalmobile.com/index.htm

        Also, another interesting looper/guitarist is Michael Brook. I've 
enjoyed
his music a great deal, he records with Eno, Hassell, Fripp, Sylvian, and
others. A great guitarist, I saw him with Fripp when they performed with
David Sylvian. Brook opened up the show solo, and his looping stuff was
outrageous. The link is :

        Enjoy!
