Actually playing as a member of King Crimson is another matter altogether. But two of the members of <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2023\/12\/23\/album-review-tu-ner-t-1-contact-information\/\">Tu-Ner<\/a> have in fact been members of that group, and the third is so staggeringly accomplished that he may as well have been. But this trio \u2013 Markus Reuter, Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn \u2013 applies that breathtaking level of skill to wholly original music. It\u2019s safe to say that if you appreciate the music of King Crimson \u2013 especially its later double trio and seven-headed best eras in which the music took on a post-metal, post-industrial, post-progressive character \u2013 then you\u2019ll luxuriate in the sonic landscapes of Tu-ner.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be fooled by the album title: this is nightmarish (in a good way, I tell ya) instrumental music of the highest order. Conventional ideas of melody don\u2019t often apply ; there\u2019s an abstract character to many of these pieces, clattering and scraping along with malevolent abandon. There\u2019s a sense of humor at work when it comes to song titles (\u201cTriangle of Love,\u201d \u201cTransistor Valentine\u201d) but when it comes to the music itself, Tu-Ner is deadly serious. Challenging and knotty, the trio\u2019s tunes can be intimidating to the uninitiated. But Reuter\u2019s touch guitar, Mastelotto\u2019s intricate percussion and Gunn\u2019s Warr guitar all come together to make a sound the likes of which you\u2019re not likely to hear elsewhere. Brilliant and recommended to the musically adventurous and open-minded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playing the music of King Crimson is technically demanding; it requires a level of musicianship to which most players can only aspire.
