Combining digital technology with everyday salvaged materials, sculptor and composer Trimpin has invented ways of playing everything from giant marimbas to a 60-foot stack of guitars using MIDI commands. Taking inspiration equally from junkyards, museums, and concert halls, Trimpin creates eccentric and interactive instruments from found materials, including saw blades, toy monkeys, duck calls, beer bottles, Bunsen burners, slide projectors, turkey basters, and pottery wheels. Trimpin's computer-driven musical contraptions defy the constraints of traditional instruments. In conversation with Gage's Gary Faigin, Trimpin will discuss specific projects from his career and share short videos that highlight his unique approach and philosophy. Trimpin is a German born kinetic sculptor, sound artist, and musician currently living in Seattle and Tieton, Washington. Trimpin's work integrates sculpture and sound across a variety of media including fixed installation and live music, theater, and dance performance. Beginning in July 2005, several Washington museums engaged in a year-long survey of his work. A feature documentary film about the artist/inventor/composer's life and work, TRIMPIN: The Sound of Invention, was produced and directed by Peter Esmonde. Painter, critic, and author Gary Faigin is cofounder and Artistic Director of Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, as well as the school's Still Life Atelier instructor. He has taught in art schools across the country including the National Academy of Design and the Parsons School of Design. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Gage Academy of Art.

Trimpin is a sound sculptor, composer, engineer, and inventor. A specialist in interfacing computers with traditional instruments, he has developed ways of playing instruments ranging from giant marimbas to stacks of electric guitars via computer. His work integrates sculpture, sound, and live performance. Born in Germany, Trimpin spent several years living and studying in Berlin, working as a set designer and collaborating with artists from both Germany and the United States. He relocated to the United States in 1979. This year's Other Minds Festival features the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by Trimpin, The Cello Quartet. It features autonomous cellos, circus artists, percussive lamp shades, and more. In the interview, Joseph Bohigian talks with Trimpin about his custom-built cellos, collaborating with choreographer Margaret Fisher, and the influence of spatial music composer Henry Brant.

Can experiencing art improve your wellbeing? What better way to answer that question than to visit an art museum at Washington State University.Ryan Hardesty, executive director of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU, takes Washington State Magazine editor Larry Clark on a tour of the museum in WSU Pullman's Crimson Cube. They have plenty to discuss about how people benefit from seeing, hearing, and experiencing art as they visit the exhibits—including Trimpin's sound sculpture, Keiko Hara's works of landscapes and dreams, Juventino Aranda's powerful explorations of identity and home, and Irwin Nash's photographs of Latino lives in migrant worker communities of the Yakima Valley.See the exhibits and find out how to visit the museum at museum.wsu.edu.Read more about art and happiness in “The joy of handiwork” in the Fall 2022 issue of the magazine.Support the show

Cougar Crew, a scrappy and resilient group of rowers at Washington State University, recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. They had to cancel a banquet and other events due to COVID-19, but former coach Ken Struckmeyer and rower Doug “Doc” Engle reminisce about the team, catching a crab, and rowing on the Snake River near Pullman. Also in this episode:Seattle-based artist, composer and inventor Trimpin created Ambiente432, an innovative sound installation at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at WSU. Visitors to the museum activate the artwork by walking around the entry pavilion and talking, which creates sounds that have calming effects. WSU engineering professor Noel Schulz talks about her experiences as a woman in engineering. She shares ways to encourage girls and women to enter and stay in the science and engineering fields.

Trimpin loves natural and acoustic sound. He moved to America decades ago partly to have greater access to discarded technological and mechanical materials to create his inventive installations, which combine music composition with visually imaginative kinetics (and some wizardry). Listen as Trimpin talks about a selection of his world-renowned sound sculptures, navigating the art community as a sound artist, and the beauty of natural sound.

Today's pilot kicks off with hat tips to Carrie Mae Weems and Trimpin. Also, remember the old Oregon Trail video game? We go to the live simulation staged in Salem last month.

The celebrated "sound sculptor" Trimpin has long been haunted by the story of the Gurs prison camp in southern France, where thousands of Jews were held during World War II. Now he's commemorating this little-known chapter of the Holocaust with a major new multimedia performance. We discussed the Gurs Cycle with Trimpin, director Rinde Eckert, Gurs survivor Manfred Wildman, and Victor Rosenberg, whose family letters are used in the performance.

Trimpin and Victor Gama discuss their approaches to sound and art and the ways in which they aim to integrate these two aspects into their creations. (November 2, 2010)
