Sounds Interesting

"Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto will be performing together with avant garde accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen and sampling whiz Samuli Kosminen as Kluster TU. Shows are scheduled for Helsinki on April 7 and Tokyo on April 10 and 11. Kluster features Kimmo on accordion, voice, and effects with Samuli creating live samples of Kimmo's accordion and voice and then reproducing them through electronic drum pads. Follow the link below for info on the gigs and visit Kimmo’s website for more about the Kluster multi-dimensional accordion sound."

Gunn and Mastelotto are the former rhythm section of King Crimson, a band that regular readers know to be a favorite of mine. Never heard of an "avant garde accordianist" before. Sounds cool, though.

"This is Chevalier, Montage, Detente, Avant Garde, and Deja Vu."
