WINE OF SILENCE

2012 release from the Dutch Jazz/Pop orchestra. The Wine of Silence is the first album to feature orchestral arrangements of legendary guitarist Robert Fripp's solo Soundscapes work. 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 P„rt, G¢recki, Tavener and others in the 'holy minimalist' school of composition.
