Musician, guitarist in a prog rock band "king crimson"


Robert Fripp is often characterized as intellectual, disciplined, private, serious, and highly perfectionistic. He has a very analytical approach to music and can be quite exacting about how his work is performed. At the same time, he has a dry, understated sense of humor and can be surprisingly playful in interviews. He generally seems more comfortable discussing ideas and music than his personal life, and he strongly values independence and artistic integrity.
Uses dry understatement; speaks in measured, analytical phrases with occasional playful digs.
