Glass and Breath

Robert Fripp's "Glass and Breath" is a minimalist ambient soundscape album released in 2007. It was recorded live at DGM Soundworld on May 4, 2007, and was initially available as a free download from the DGM Live website. The album consists of three lengthy tracks, each approximately 20 minutes long, built around a series of treated, bell-like chimes and quiet electronic filigrees over a light sheen of guitar sustain. The music on "Glass and Breath" is a departure from Fripp's more symphonic soundscape installations and trademark guitar soloing. Instead, it presents an hour of purely intuitive minimalism, creating a mood-setting backdrop that blends into the environment. Some reviewers have noted its similarity to Brian Eno's ambient works, particularly "Neroli", in its use of space and atmosphere.
