King Crimson's Adrian Belew to Soundtrack Pixar Short

Last year, legendary British group King Crimson progged their way through Canada on an enormous tour. Rather than take a break, the band's Adrian Belew has booked another high-profile gig.

The guitarist and vocalist has been tapped to compose new music for the next Pixar short, Entertainment Weekly reports. The film is called Piper, and it's set to play in front of Pixar's forthcoming blockbuster Finding Dory.

"I put him in as a placeholder in my very first original story," he said. "And Andrew said, 'Adrian contacted me and would love to work on a Pixar project.' So it was my first choice and his first choice come together. We were pretty excited, and he was instrumental in getting the right tone."

You'll be able to catch Piper in front of Finding Dory this summer. Both films hit theatres on June 17.
