So, for the first time in the life of Guitar Craft and the Guitar Circle, we are inviting audients to this Intro, to learn the performance techniques and approaches available to Crafty Guitarists. If performing music is to enter our world, the role of the audience is as necessary as the role of the musician. The Guitar Circle is a way of working which strengthens community. Guitar and Audience Craft techniques and exercises provide a foundation for taking the performance event to a higher level. Guitar Craft is a way of developing a relationship with guitar, music, and with ourselves. The artful craft of Guitar Craft is also specific.
The Guitar Circle welcomes players and audients of all ages and levels of experience, from absolute beginners to professionals. You will happily experience some of these during Robert’s event! Rhythmic conflicts, or cross-rhythms, may occur within a single metre (e.g., two eighth notes against triplet eighths or worse!) and may even be reinforced by simultaneous combinations of conflicting metres. *Polyrhythms: The simultaneous combination of contrasting rhythms in a musical composition. Hey, the anticipated polyrhythms* alone are enough to deter anyone from even thinking about drinking! So, any participant who partakes in drugs or alcohol during the event may be asked to forego participating in our activities. Robert feels strongly that alcohol and drug use are incompatible with this work and are strongly discouraged. House of Guitars: everyone welcome to join, with or without guitars (led by RF)ĭuring Robert Fripp’s Introduction to the Guitar Circle, nothing is compulsory but some things are necessary. The exact detailed schedule will be decided at the course itself, responding to the needs of the group.

"Has it ever yielded anything good for you? If it hasn't made you money, has anyone ever bought you a drink in a bar? Have you picked up women with it?" she asks. It may not be the future of music distribution but this is how the world works.Ĭorbett asks Carleton if he'd ever gotten anything from his composition's spread. People record this music, post it to YouTube, and people like Corbett's father-in-law discover it and put it on in the background while they sweep the kitchen. Carleton assented and into the system the song went, eventually set as the default on millions of phones. That's when Carleton's friend Darrick Deel, who had gone to work for Cisco, called him up and told him that this song could become Cisco's default hold music. The song was recorded on a four-track and forgotten for almost a decade until some time in the '90s. His name is Tim Carleton, and he's now a mostly ungoogleable IT guy here in the Bay Area.
In any case, the most wonderful thing about this piece of music is that a Yanni-loving 16-year-old computer nerd composed it.
If you can hear this song, you are still alive. Perhaps this tune is better than silence. In the stale elevator descending slowly into hades, this is what pours from the padded, yellow walls.Īnd if you leave it on in the background while you're working, just sitting in a tab, and then you turn it off, you may notice a curious absence.
