Thanks for the response Quiet Visitor. I was glad to see Coda re-released too.

I have just published the next article on the site, featuring the Sylvian/Fripp track 'Brightness Falls'. The song was derived from a guitar riff within the instrumental 'Protopunk' that was performed with Trey Gunn as part of their trio shows in 1992.

The article looks at how Trey Gunn linked up with Robert Fripp ahead of their work with David Sylvian, and their related activities with the Robert Fripp String Quintet which existed alongside Sylvian/Fripp.

The latest article at Vista is about 'Grains (sweet paulownia wood)', David Sylvian's first released sung performance for nearly a decade.

Recorded early in 2022 it's a 'remodel' of an earlier instrumental track by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto. The vocal line is so beautifully matched with the music it's difficult to believe it was conceived about 15 years after the underlying track. Spellbinding!
