RE: "Conventional" music performance using looping

He doesn't modulate? Seriously? You mean every song he played was in one
key? No polychords, non-diatonicism, chromatic movements, overtones,
tone clusters, etc. This seems very un-Fripp-like to me. Hell, if you
analyze his Soundscapes, every tune is practically a handful of keys
playing at the same time by the time the loops mature...all sorts of
overtones occuring, etc. You couldn't play a major scale or minor
pentatonic over that stuff if your life depended on it. Well, you could,
but whether it would sound in place is a different matter. :)
