"Untune the Sky" is a superb compilation of unreleased tracks, plus a bonus DVD containing 105 Minutes of on & off-stage footage, and video montages... artists featured include Robert Fripp and Pat Mastelotto!

Trey Gunn, a native Texan who now resides in Seattle began his musical life at the age of 7 playing classical piano. His interest in music grew through various instruments; electric bass, electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards, and now the touch guitar.

He has toured and recorded with Sunday All Over The World, Toni Childs, The Robert Fripp String Quintet, David Sylvian, Vernon Reid, Michael Brook, Eric Johnson, David Hykes of the Harmonic Choir and King Crimson.

In 1992 he was asked to join David Sylvian and Robert Fripp in a collaborative project that grew from a three-piece to a fully-fledged rock band, touring Japan and Europe in both configurations. The band released "The First Day" and a live album, "Damage", through Virgin Records. Gunn also found time to record his first solo album "One Thousand Years" released on Discipline Records.

He has been a member of King Crimson since 1994. For his role in this configuration of the group (Belew, Fripp, Gunn and Mastelotto), Gunn has helped evolve a new and unique instrument. Built by Mark Warr of Warr Guitars this 'tapped' instrument is a 10-string touch guitar with the range of a piano. It can be heard, in depth, on his solo albums - "The Third Star", "Raw Power Volume 1", "The Joy of Molybdenum", "Live Encounter", and of course, "Untune the Sky".

In addition to helping run a collective music label based in Seattle called First World (FWD), he is currently dividing his time between his own Trey Gunn Band, the next phase of King Crimson and various session work (he plays on the John Paul Jones CD, "Zooma" amongst others).

"Untune the Sky" is a superb compilation of unreleased tracks, with guest artists including Robert Fripp and Pat Mastelotto. The bonus DVD contains 105 Minutes of on & off-stage footage, plus video montages.
