Exposure is the debut solo album by British guitarist and composer Robert Fripp, best known as the sole constant member of the band King Crimson. Unique among Fripp solo projects for its focus on the rock song format, it grew out of his previous collaborations with David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, and Daryl Hall, and the latter two singers appear on the album. Released in 1979, it peaked at No. 79 on the Billboard Album Chart. Most of the lyrics were provided by the poet Joanna Walton, Fripp's partner at the time, who also coined the term "Frippertronics" to describe his tape looping system.[3]
