A fortuitous meeting off the beaten track in Scandinavia has given rise to 'Invisible Rays', a spontaneous collaboration between two of the most innovative guitarists and one of the most explosive drummers on the planet. Trey Gunn (King Crimson, David Sylvian, John Paul Jones), guitarist/improviser Henry Kaiser (Werner Herzog, David Lindley, Richard Thompson) and drummer Morgan gren (Zappa, Bill Laswell, Steve Vai) first met at a music education conference in March 2011 and within days were in the studio together.
On the final day of workshops Gunn, Kaiser, and gren found themselves with time to kill before their afternoon sessions. Making the most of the occasion, the ad hoc trio laid down the foundation of Invisible Rays. Comprising 10 tracks, eight more or less composed pieces framed by two sprawling free improvisations, these recordings defy categorization while reflecting the diverse backgrounds of the players.
At once anchored and propelled by gren's ferociously complex drumming, Invisible Rays soars through phantasmagoric soundscapes shaped and painted by searing electric guitars and raging bass lines. The impact is monumental.
