ND Ateneo
Sometimes soundscapes coax, tease, and tempt the listener to engage and on other occasions they smack the audience right between the eyes with little or no warning. This particular Buenos Aires II is very much in the latter camp and may well be the best of the entire tour.
Fripp’s bristling solo pushes and shoves its way into your consciousness without so much as a by your leave. And that sustained note at the end is a knockout blow that leaves one gasping. Taken together with the shimmering benediction of BA III, if you only download one concert from this series, for these ears at least, this would be the one.
Robert’s diary for the day notes,”Walk-in Soundscapes of a different variety this evening, with different Magic Numbers and treatments. Following the suggestion of Alain Pinero, these are SoundSculptures. A good show, a very good audience, with a superb onstage sound by Mr. Beefy of BeefProd.”
