Modulator

'Modulator' is Trey Gunn with über-drummer Marco Minnemann; but with a gigantic twist. This entire recording was composed & produced over the top of a 51 minute, live drum solo by Marco.

For this project, alternatively known as "Normalizer Two", Marco has enlisted several different musicians to create a full CD, each, from the same drum solo. No editing of the drum performance was done. All the music had to fit with what Marco played and, ideally, make it seem like only this drum performance could go with this music.

"This was the hardest recording I have ever taken on", says Trey. "The challenges of this process prove the old adage that with great restrictions come great creative leaps."

Personnel: Marco Minnemann (drums); Trey Gunn (guitar, fretless guitar, keyboards, sampler); Michael Connolly (Uilleann pipe).
