Robert Fripp and Brian Eno are pioneers of what later became known as ambient music. Eno coined the term “ambient music” or at least is the first to release music under that name, and Fripp has worked extensively with guitar looping as textural “soundscapes”. Their collaborations have influenced many artists and sound engineers.
Robert Fripp and Brian Eno have worked together on many projects over the last 30 years, and their Fripp & Eno records from 1973-1974 are innovative milestones that at the time were extremely unusual.
Of course, Fripp and Eno also are likely to have had influences also. Eno cites Erik Satie’s music as part of one story of how he became interested in ambient music as a subtle form of wallpaper that one could listen to or just let be part of an environment.
The system of looping tapes between two open reel decks to create a delay loop is the fundamental system used by Eno in what later became known as the mechanics behind Frppertronics. Eno did this with two reel to reel tape decks and creating a delay system he could use to layer sound for live performances.
The system used two reel to reel decks with the left deck as a source for blank tape or prerecorded material to be used to overdub on top of, and the right deck as delay playback and take up reel. Changing the distance between the decks would lengthen the delay time. Eno recorded Fripp on deck 1 and while the guitar was played live the recording would flow to deck 2 and play with a time delay. By mixing the delay back into the main signal going into deck 1 the sound can be layered and the decay of the signal can be controlled for few or many repeats.

My No Pussyfooting vinyl is worn out to the max, but sadly this doesn't really get any recognition on my charts. Probably my favourite Fripp moment, but not my favourite Eno... Still epic though.
