Vernon Reid & David Torn · Confronting Creativity

Buke & Gase’s “A Record Of…”
Buke & Gase are an experimental pop band who improvise & edit down the results until only the grooviest parts remain. They play custom instruments of their own invention (software and hardware). Their new collaboration record with So Percussion is called "A Record Of..." and can be purchased on Bandcamp here: https://bukeandgase.bandcamp.com/album/a-record-of-2
Tally Hall’s “Good Day”
Tally Hall's "Good Day" music video blew my mind when it came out in 2010 and still amazes me today. Find out why!

Pat Mastelotto & Trey Gunn

Silent Night in 5/8
Here's some weird new Christmas music for you featuring James Partridge on piano. This one is in 5/8 with a descending chromatic bass line. It's very tricky to play and to think through the chord changes.
We Three Kings in 5/4
Here's the amazing Nick Goodwin performing my arrangement of "We Five Kings," which is "We Three Kings" in 5/4 as a tribute to Dave Brubeck. I was absolutely blown away by Nick's performance. He's playing a B-bender telecaster and a drop D tuning. He came up with that all on his own.
King Crimson Transcription Team Interview
Join us for a live interview with former King Crimson member Trey Gun, and transcription wizard Gabriel Riccio. We're going to talk about the upcoming King Crimson transcriptions book for the classic 80s albums: Discipline, Three of a Perfect Pair, and Beat. Trey and Gabriel will be joined by Matt Tate and Dean Pascarella, proofreaders for the book.
Weird Christmas Albums
It's easy to hate Christmas music. And sometimes it's deserved. If you're like me, you're probably wearing earplugs to the grocery store by now. However, there is a lot of wonderfully weird Christmas music out there for you to enjoy without sacrificing your tastes. Here are my recommendations.
Mediaeval Baebes’ “Prayers of the Rosary”
Join us for a live interview with Mediæval Bæbes leader Katharine Blake and multi-instrumentalists Charlie Cawood and Michael York. We will discuss their new album, "Prayers of the Rosary." Find out more here: https://mediaevalbaebes.bandcamp.com/album/prayers-of-the-rosary
Panzerballett’s “Planet Z”
Join us for a live interview with guitarist and Panzerballett mastermind Jan Zehrfeld. We're going to talk about the excellent new album, "Planet Z." Lots to discuss and listen.
Did 70s prog invent the bass drop?
Did 1970s prog rock bands invent the infamous “bass drop” typically found in electronic dance music? Sure seems that way! What do you think? Tell us in the comments.
King Crimson Discipline Era Transcriptions Book
The historic King Crimson albums Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair have been transcribed. Every instrument and note are thoroughly documented for your eyes, ears, and hands to enjoy. And I was one of the proofreaders!
Dillinger Escape Plan’s “Calculating Infinity”
Calculating Infinity (1999) by The Dillinger Escape Plan is one of the most brain-bending, brutal albums I've ever heard. It's a no-holds-barred tornado of complexity, angst, and genre-defying musicianship. You can hate it, you can love it, but you can't ignore it.
Laurie Anderson’s “Bright Red”
Laurie Anderson's "Bright Red" features a song called "The Puppet Motel," which has terrified me since I was 12 years old. Listen and tell us what you think.
