Trey Gunn

Music For Pictures

“Music for Pictures” contains twenty-nine audio tracks culled, tweaked, re-orchestrated and re-manipulated from this King Crimson alumnus’ extensive body of scoring work for film and television. Using his unique instrumentation of 10-string touch guitars and bluesy fretless guitars, Gunn harnesses the power of several of the world’s top drummers to make this mesmerizing work. These recordings originally began with a series of television documentaries and culminated in a film score for Pavel Ruminov, heralded as the new Stanley Kubrick of Russia.

“Music For Pictures” is collection of tight, crystal-like compositions ranging from the dramatically gritty, to the clangorous, to the somnambulistic, to the complete disassembling of sound, itself, into the shattered sonic fissures of the final track.

with guest musicians:

Matt Chamberlain (drums- Bill Frisell, Tori Amos, Garbage, Jon Brion)

Pat Mastelotto (drums – King Crimson, XTC)

Greg Gilmore (drums – Mother Love Bone)

Phil Petrocelli (drums – Jesu)

Beth Quist (voice – Bobby McFerrin)

Music For Pictures was produced by Trey Gunn between 2003 and 2008. "Scoring for film and moving images,” Gunn explains, “is a very different kind of process from writing for a musical performance. With film, the music must serve as a frame for the story being told. Onstage, the flow of the music is the story." The album was recorded at 7 Directions studios in Seattle.

Additionally, Gunn has over fifty filmmakers, from all over the globe, creating new video and films to these tracks.
