The Grid

New collaborative album from electronic duo The Grid (aka Richard Norris and Dave Ball) and Robert Fripp. Combining Fripp Soundscapes with synth, drums, programming and effects by The Grid.

Born after World War II, large-scale experimental high-energy physics (HEP) has found itself limited ever since by available accelerator, detector and computing technologies. Accordingly, HEP has made significant contributions to the development of these fields, more often than not driving their innovations.

The need for a deep decarbonization of the energy sector and the associated opportunities are now increasingly recognized, with fossil fuel projects simultaneously becoming more risky business propositions. With large-scale wind and solar generation now being the cheapest options in many parts of the world, a deeply renewable electricity sector is predestined to become the main driver of this transition.

Composer and multi-instrumentalist Rob Burger has traveled down many paths during his lengthy, productive career, from being a driving force behind the chamber jazz-folk group Tin Hat Trio to performing on albums by Iron & Wine, Tracy Chapman, Norah Jones, John Zorn, and countless others. As a solo artist, he's released an album as part of Tzadik Records' Radical Jewish Culture series, and another for the same label comprising a selection of his music for film scores. The Grid (released by Western Vinyl) is a different story altogether, blending the moods of the composer's soundtrack work with ambient electronic textures.
