A native Texan who resides in Seattle, Gunn is known for the unusual touch guitar that he plays. With this instrument under his fingers he has participated in a constant stream of cutting edges projects. In 1992 he was asked to join David Sylvian and Robert Fripp in a collaborative project that toured throughout the United States, Europe and Japan. The band released "The First Day" and "Damage" – a live recording from the Royal Albert Hall in London. During this period Gunn also recorded his first solo album "One Thousand Years.” In 1994 he joined King Crimson – a group many contend as the most aggressively, adventurous rock band of all time. Over the next decade he participated in seventeen King Crimson CDs, two DVDs and hundreds of performances. For his role in this group, Gunn helped evolve a new and unique instrument. This 'tapped' instrument, the Warr Guitar, is a 10-string touch guitar with the range of a piano. It can be heard, in depth, on his 12 solo recordings. In addition to the performances and recordings of The Trey Gunn Band, Gunn has toured and/or recorded with John Paul Jones, Maynard J. Keenan’s “Puscifer”, Brian Eno, Vernon Reid, Azam Ali, David Hykes of the Harmonic Choir and played on Steven Wilson's Grammy nominated recording “Grace For Drowning.” Gunn runs his own label (7d Media) while dividing his time between solo work; his projects TU, KTU, The Security Project, 3Below and Quodia; film scoring and coaching musicians in the creative process.
