Travis & Fripp - Discretion (2012/2023) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

‘Discretion’ is the brand new album by pioneering guitar legend Robert Fripp and flautist/saxophonist Theo Travis made available for Bowers & Wilkins Society of Sound in stunning 24 bit high quality digital format. The music follows on from the duo’s previous album releases and combines almost telepathic interplay with a deep understanding of musical texture and space, the building of long slow melodies, and the creation of slowly shifting harmonic soundscapes.

Over the six pieces, the mood is largely calm and beautiful, but there are surprises however. In Rotary Symmetrical Travis weaves lines on his wah-wah saxophone – an unusual and haunting sound - whilst Fripp plays with his expected authority but with an almost ominous sense of space. The track builds to a gargantuan climax as Fripp plays his overdriven guitar in a powerful almost Crimson like ending. The track Refract also changes the mood as unsettling harmonies ensure that the music remains challenging and the atmospheres vary significantly.
