Robert Fripp - Behind the scenes at Windows Vista recording session | scobleizer

Being a guitar and music geek this has to be my favorite video I've ever seen on Channel 9. I own almost all of the King Crimson studio recordings and many of Fripps solo recordings. People that aren't Fripp fans probably won't understand the importance of this video. Fripp is probably the most sensitive rock musician when it comes to photography of any kind. Fripp and Crimson have the strictest anti-photogrpahy policy of any rock band and normally Fripp performs in shadows.

Fripp is probably the most technologically advanced performing guitarist in the world. His guitar rig probably cost more than many people's homes. He has several $10,000 TC Electronic delay units. That's just *delay*. To get an idea you can check it out his rig from 1997 at guitargeek.com

If anyone wants to buy any of his ambient style music or more heavy stuff from Crimson needs to check out dgmlive.com where you can buy recordings in MP3 and FLAC and listen to samples.

Why don't MS use some real musicians that makes real music and not this new age crap. Let's get som beats going, drums etc.

How about someone who has experience in making music for games?

Because its not music it's just sound effects.

honestly i had no idea they put so much effort into the sounds, but it makes sense considering millions of users will hear them every day. i hate the xp startup sound so i hope they don't base it off that. i always replace it with the w2k startup sound which is my fav Cool

RF/KC is good stuff, although I'm more into Peter Hammill and Van Der Graaf Generator. 'Pawn Hearts' and 'Godbluff' are amazing, if you're into that stuff. Robert Fripp played on ' Pawn Hearts' and probably some other PH/VDGG stuff. They were musical friends of sorts.

Fripp's played with so many people it's not even funny. He played with Bowie. He played with Blondie. Playing 6-degrees with Fripp is almost too easy.

Not only do I only use 100 percent pirated copies of Windows in massive OS rollouts, I also disable all sounds upon installation. Eat it, Micro(I need to watch my language).
