Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the no-more-eno dept.

brainstem writes "Recently, King Crimson founder, guitar master, and all around eccentric musical genius Robert Fripp spent a few days at the MS Campus recording soundscapes for Vista. Fripp, who has been at the forefront of electronic guitar composition for more than 35 years, first using analog tape delays, then with digital effects. He infused his unique brand of Frippertronics on the MS crowd. The Channel 9 site has posted a 25 minute video, chronicalling the event. Now I guess I finally have a reason to leave the default Windows sounds enabled."

      Soon the average user won't even bother reading the headline, much less the article or the Slashdot story, and the comment system will quickly fall into disuse. On the bright side, we'll get to witness the ultimate triumph of laziness as it conquers every possible source of discussion. Bonus: no more mods to bitch about!
