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

"Incidentally, Mr. Fripp's moonlighting as a motivational speaker makes perfect sense. In my years in the golden ghetto of rock journalism, I interviewed scores of musicians, most of whom impressed me as barely articulate creatures of very little brain, dull as a doorknob and culturally illiterate about anything but music. Mr. Fripp was a striking departure from that dreary norm, preternaturally articulate, with an omnivorous mind and a dry, nimble wit. Which was why I always lept at the opportunity to interview him."
—Mark Dery, Record Magazine
"Music is the cup which holds the wine of silence. Sound is that cup, but empty. Noise is that cup, but broken."
—Robert Fripp
