Trey Gunn and Markus Reuter
Music and The Tapping Technique
For all tapping instruments and all levels
Innsbruck, Austria
June 18 - 23, 2012
The main question we all are asking is how to turn notes, rhythms, technique, and fret board knowledge into music? And how to do it immediately. Practicing scales and fret board calisthenics develop one's capacity to play scales and calisthenics - not necessarily to play music. Our belief is that playing music and developing one's own musical vision should be the beginning. Then technique should be the work that follows. This way you are truly working on the things that support where you want to go as a player.
For this course we will be presenting a variety of work in tapping mechanics, ear training, fret board knowledge, improvisation, alternate approaches of the touch techniques, and other challenges that will help to focus your own musical vision. The players who come will be exposed to a plethora of ideas and practices to try out and see what truly fits their musical life.

June 19, 2010 -- Here/Now Project -- Seattle, WA
I have been invited to participate in a very unusual performance next weekend here in Seattle.
There will be 8 musicians and 8 dancers. An audience member will come up and draw the name of two musicians and twodancers from a hat. The four will improvise for 8 minutes, then another grouping
of four will be picked for the ...next 8 minute segment. And so on, until
everyone has gone. The people involved have no idea whowill be there, and most likely I won't even know any of the participants.
This looks like a very well crafted event, as the time constraints insure that: One, nobody goes on too long and Two, 8minutes is just long enough that you can't expect to last it bybringing in any ideas. You must go to the well that is present, here in the event. I'm excited.

Trey discusses Quodia and multi-media creation/performance
Kirkland Arts Center
Saturday March 27, 2010, 2:00-4:00 pm
In this workshop, Trey Gunn will present portions of Quodia and discusses the original creative vision for the project, how it began and how it evolved, its current state and its future, and how it fits in with his body of work. Quodia is a multi-media storytelling/ performance project established by Trey Gunn (of King Crimson) and Joe Mendelson (of Rise Robots Rise) in 2003. This project combines music, film, sound design, literature, and theater into an elegantly layered, immersive performance experience. Part movie, part theater, and part concert, Quodia tells archetypal fairytales, driven by high-tech digital tools – laptops, keyboard, electronic percussion, Warr guitar, video projectors, and a large screen. Quodia inspires a degree of audience participation through intentional use of narrative “holes”, where audience members are encouraged to use their own imagination.
