Robert Fripp is a guitarist and composer. Best known as co-founder of the group King Crimson, and his outstanding work with artists such as David Bowie, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel and David Sylvian, he is one of the most innovative and consistently challenging musicians of his generation. In 2003, UK based composer Andrew Keeling completed work on a series of detailed orchestral arrangements of pieces taken from Fripp’s solo performances which had been painstakingly transcribed by Bert Lams (California Guitar Trio). Receiving their live premiere in The Netherlands by the Metropole Orkest under the baton of Jan Stulen in 2003, the results evoke the works of Pärt, Górecki, Tavener and others in the ‘holy minimalist’ school of composition. The Wine Of Silence forms a sublime and often moving collection of contemporary orchestral music.
