‘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.



‘Discretion’ is drawn from a number of high-resolution multi-channel recordings made at a series of European concerts in 2010. Minimal studio overdubs were added prior to mixing.


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.

King Crimson fans will also not be disappointed with presence of the melodic theme The Power to Believe from the album of the same name. This opens and closes this album with a very atmospheric version of the tune played on soprano saxophone over moody guitar soundscapes beginning and ending the album in a similar and satisfying way. In addition to this recording, the duo has issued two CD albums on the Panegyric label: “Thread” (2008) and “Live at Coventry Cathedral” (2010) and toured Italy, Spain and the UK. A further recording, “Follow”, will be issued as a CD/DVD-A in autumn 2012. This set features new recordings in stereo (CD), with high resolution stereo, 5.1 MLP lossless Surround Sound and performance video footage (DVD-A).
