When three musical titans collide, expect fireworks. That's exactly what happens with Tu-Ner, a progressive rock supergroup that's anything but conventional. This trio unites Trey Gunn's ethereal Warr guitar, Pat Mastelotto's genre-bending percussion, and Markus Reuter's revolutionary touch guitar into something entirely new. If you've lost yourself in a King Crimson album, you'll recognize Gunn and Mastelotto's sonic fingerprints. Gunn, who's woven his distinctive textures through collaborations with John Paul Jones and David Sylvian, brings that same boundary-pushing spirit to Tu-Ner. Mastelotto's hybrid acoustic-electronic drumming - which drove both King Crimson's experimental journeys and Mr. Mister and XTC's chart success - lays the foundation for the group's sonic adventures. Completing the triangle is Markus Reuter, whose custom-designed touch guitar creates vast musical landscapes that defy categorization. Think of him as an architect of sound, crafting expansive environments where his bandmates can explore and experiment. Live, Tu-Ner is less concert, more expedition into uncharted territory. The trio's improvisational chemistry transforms each performance into a unique journey, showcasing not just individual mastery but the telepathic interplay that comes from musicians at the peak of their craft. Don't expect the familiar. Tu-Ner offers something rarer: a genuine adventure that pushes progressive rock into bold new territory. A native Texan who resides in New Mexico, Gunn is known for the unusual 10-string touch guitar that he plays. From the blistering live recordings at the Royal Albert Hall in London with David Sylvian and Robert Fripp ("Damage", Virgin Records) to ten years recording and touring with King Crimson – a group many contend as the most aggressively adventurous rock band of all time – Gunn is associated with a constant stream of cutting-edge projects.
