Trey Spruance - Kronos' Fifty for the Future Composer Interview

[@Gifthoarse]

The world is better because he's making music in it.

[@recklesslife7]

trey is great! him, patton and trevor dunn all seem like very intelligent people, driven by so deep creative pulses... mr bungle was amazing! and each one of those 3 guys kept creating good, challenging music =)

[@jsogman]

I dont know too many bands that have THREE massively talented musicians... many have one or two... im thinking Weather Report with Zawinul, Shorter as well as Jaco.. But yeah Bungle is probably my favorite band of all time, (or at least my favorite band of primarily traditional instrumentation) of those 3 Trey has been the most important in terms of me LOVING and being in awe of what he continues to do but there's also something magical that I think can only happen when those 3 finally come back together to make new music ... one of which i realized for me is Dunn's penchant for free Jazz which you dont often get from SC3

[@rockonthestone4907]

Life would be a lot duller without this mans music, SC3 gives me life

[@lovesthedark]

What a staggering amount of music knowledge Trey has. Sheer brilliance. Those Bungle boys are a huge resource of anything that has ever been put to record. I love hearing any of them talk about their listening libraries. Soooo much interesting music. It makes me salivate.

[@vrod2144]

yes

[@johnmichaelpatrick369]

Trey Spruance has always been my favorite member of Mr. Bungle... He seems like such a great person, yet when I saw Mr.Bungle in Montreal just after the release of California, he was just terrifying on stage, like a force of nature ! To this day that was the greatest show I've ever seen !!!

[@dan7569]

Trey seems like such a nice guy

[@IntrusiveCuckholeGenerator]

that's why he's got in a trash can lmao

[@especiallyonions2654]

He is Mr. Nice Guy

[@ocean6857]

funnily enough, he looks scary on stage. In this interview, he seem like a chill and smart/wellread collage roommatge

[@flip65515]

He's a super nice guy. I saw the Secret Chiefs 3 open for Les Claypool in 09 and Trey was peddling their merchandise after they played. He was very gracious and very humble and Jesus Christ is he smart

[@joshuafult84]

Mr. Bungle was a natural rock supergroup from the start.... Trey , Trevor, Mike

[@Homelessman45678]

Can't get enough of his voice

[@pikidipod]

I wish i could thank Trey for his contribution to the music scene. He feels so genuine with his passion. His work will live on long after we are all gone.

[@guitarfrankieman]

I was there too tremendous show

[@drzazgi666]

Literal genius

[@gharju]

figurative genius

[@landi2244]

Amazing interview. This guy is a musical gift.

[@akracing7]

This is mesmerizing.

[@shanehill9429]

glad to see your still doing what you love.

[@pedroerick1874]

Merry go bye bye❤❤❤❤

[@sydIRISH]

Anybody see Les Claypool when looking at Trey? I think they look alike. I wanna see those two work together, with special guest Mike Patton. You think you know a lot about music....then you hear Trey Spruance talk. WOW.

[@11anonymous6]

I think Les’ & Trey’s respective styles would wind up creating a schism of sound. Not to imply it would sound bad, I just think it would sound at odds with itself. The only visual similarity between the two is their facial hair. Trey has rosier cheeks 😂

[@sydIRISH]

@@11anonymous6 Maybe...I just want to hear it

[@iceWaterProductions1]

What’s the name he refers to as the composer of the organ concerto?

[@YeesusKrist]

Didn’t Faith no more use a piece of a Kronos quartet song in “Malpractice”

[@evy613]

can someone help me find the names of the composers Trey is talking about, can't seem to hear them right 😶‍🌫

[@KronosQuartetofficial]

lots of good recommendations! Francis Poulenc & Igor Stravinsky (2:00), George Crumb (4:25), Maurice Ravel (6:50), R.D. Burman (7:10)

[@evy613]

@@KronosQuartetofficial Thank you ^^

[@dosemeter786]

Trreeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy!!! Hey....

[@benwherlock9869]

I'd love to know why he decided not to tour with Faith No More on the King For A Day album.
