It’s interesting to hear the careful layering of the various harmonic elements and the way the melodic content enters so stealthily, almost creeping up on the listener. Even road-hardened guitar tech, Biff Blumfumgagnge, was caught up in the emotional swell underpinning much of the final piece.
Fripp’s diary notes: ”A strong performance with moments of intensity, with a very different sense to yesterday.
People were still wandering in at 22.00, in the Argentinean fashion. And we were asked to delay our beginning. This we declined – punctuality is our standard – so the opening Soundscapes became walk-in music, which I mucho enjoyed playing.
The final Soundscapes: revisiting the Pastorale area with a new approach. It had Biff in tears, he commented afterward. This is not a new response by audiences to Soundscapes, although it is commonly accompanied by shouted suggestions.”
