Robert Fripp
The founder of the band King Crimson, Robert Fripp, is the man behind musical innovations such as Frippertronics, soundscapes, and the so-called “new standard tuning.” He paid his dues by spending decades working as a session guitarist, setting tracks for notable musicians such as David Bowie, The Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, and Blondie, even though he gradually rose to stardom in his own right.
