Why Robert Fripp?

He is a superb and entertaining speaker. As much as Fripp is internationally known for his guitar brilliance... since 1969, he has actually spent more time expertly talking and writing about music, the guitar, and the professional life of a touring player, than performing live!

For example...

• In extensive press and radio interviews since 1969, on four continents.
• As a contributing editor to Musician magazine in the early 1980s.
• On Guitar Craft courses since 1985.
• In sleeve notes for DGM album releases and in his online DGM diary since 1998.
• Following his solo performances, Fripp has engaged and delighted his audiences with his impromptu conversations and highly entertaining Q & A sessions. Fripp has engaged and delighted his audiences with his impromptu conversations and highly entertaining Q & A sessions.
  

Discipline & the Act of Music first became popular in his college lecture tours in the early 1980's.

"Music is the cup which holds the wine of silence. Sound is that cup, but empty. Noise is that cup, but broken."
—Robert Fripp
