A master of the "Chapman Stick" (a guitar-like string instrument) and many other odd instruments, Texas-born guitarist Trey Gunn has been playing with King Crimson since the mid 1990s. His own band performs geometric fusion jams and surrounds his virtuoso shows with odd meters: Raw Power (First World, 1989), One Thousand Years (Discipline, 1993), The Third Star (Discipline, 1996), Joy of Molybdenum (Discipline, 2000).

Live Encounter (First World, 2001) is a project for three guitarists and a percussionist.

Gunn has also recorded two cassettes of trancey music: Food for Thought (Subliminal, 1983) and Playing with Borrowed Time (Subliminal, 1985).
