GregK Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 I knew nothing of Torn until I got Prezens through BMG for $6-something. Immediately I thought of Robert Fripp. Is there any connection between the two, besides the Levin/Bruford bands? Torn and the band from Prezens will be playing the Edgefest in Ann Arbor this October; I think I'll check them out Quote

7/4 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) "Levin Torn White" due out in September. White as in Alan. Could be interesting! A few months ago, you were asking me what Torn's up to and here's one project that's seeing the light of day. I'm been meaning to mention this here for a while. He's also been doing shows with the drummer from the Bad Plus. There was a whole show on Soundcloud and now I can't find it, I'll try to look again later. Edited August 16, 2011 by 7/4 Quote

Guy Berger Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 As far as I can tell, this album will feature Torn, Tim Berne, Craig Taborn and Tom Rainey. I'm only familiar with Torn from his contributions to Bill Bruford and Tony Levin's Upper Extremities. Guy OK, I finally listened to this for the first time! (Gradually working my way through a huge backlog.) Wow, this is fantastic!!! Highly recommended. Quote
