Fripp’s year had been dominated by Soundscaping. In January his first public performance of the year took place at All Saints Church in Broadchalke, and from there across to America for a series of ‘scape shows during February and March. After some dates in May as a member of Bill Rieflin’s Slow Music Project, he embarked on eight performances in English churches and Cathedrals during June. During the second performance in Estonia, there’s a frostier, darker element discernible than the previous evening, especially in the Queer Reflection Whole Tone/ Queer Jazz Symmetrical Sequence, where the solo voicing seems especially brittle and vulnerable against the vast slow-moving flow of icy, brooding chords. Of the show at Eliisabeti kirik, Fripp notes, “A quiet, supportive and generous audience. A gentle evening.”
