Robert Fripp
The leader of King Crimson’s band, Robert Fripp, is the man behind musical developments 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 eventually rose to stardom in his own right.
